Happy New Year everyone! Wish you all the best in 2023. Many more lilies.

Parrawe

I have moved from Alaska to Virginia and am aghast at the soil. I sent a bucket of lily bulbs and pieces ahead for my son to put in the ground so hopefully I will have some of my favorites next summer. Also sent 5 of my peonies ahead. Starting from scratch after leaving over 50 peonies behind and a fair number of lilies plus many many other perennials in my garden of 25 years.

Mary Stella, I hope your peonies and lilies have settled in and do well for you. I hope your "aghast" doesn't turn out so bad after all. Check back with us during bloom time and let us know how things are going. That is also a big change/adjustment for you moving to Virginia from Alaska.

Anthony, I love that Parrawe lily, just the type that tickles my fancy. Again, I'm jealous. Has she "met" George Slate (assuming you have that one )?

Beautiful, Anthony!

Anthony those are remarkable.

Nice! I ordered 6 Trumpet Voluntaires this past fall. Can't wait to see them this summer. I'm trying to get some new blood into my trumpet breeding. Something other than the usual trumpet strains.

Maybe my Lily formanosum var pricei seeds are coming back? I hope they are. I will be super happy if they are the lily sprouts.

Does this look like Lilium formanosum seedlings?

Well, they are bulbs of some sort, but I don't see any obvious scales in this photo. Lilium formosanum bulbs should be made up of many scales. They should look like these, which are my L. formosanum var. pricei when I moved some back on March 25, 2022. These would have been about 2.5 years from sowing at the time.

No, they're definitely not Lilium, sedumzz. Lily bulbs never have a tunic sheath that rises above the bulb (or any sheath that encompasses the bulb, for that matter). They are likely to be a tulip or some other spring bulb.

I was thinking along the line of tulips because of the leaves. If there were tulips in the growing area at some time they could even be little offsets. Plant them and see what you get, though it can take a few years to get blooms.
