Hi Della!
thanks for welcoming me. I am not as experienced as you and so many other ATP members growing Lilies, but expect to learn everything I can about it
I remember having seen a few species Lilies as a child in my country (probably Tiger lily and L. regale) and was always attracted to them. The introduction of hybrids (L. orientale and L. asiaticum) started about 20 years ago with cut flowers. Now you can find some bulbs/plants for the regular gardener, but not by the names given by hybridizers (I suppose it is in order not to increase their value by paying for royalty rights
). Since I am 'back on line' (Nov. 2014, after many years) I have identified the names of a few of my Lilies, such as Padhye (sp?), Tango, Matrix, Casablanca, Helvetia, etc).
Liliums are such delightful flowers!
