In 2009 I bought a few seed crosses from LA

One bag never got sown and has been languishing in the fridge for 8 years as I couldn't bear to throw them out.

I have decided as an experiment to put them in a pot of seed compost outside to see if anything happens-unlikely after 8 years I know but in the name of science it has to be done.

The cross is Imperial Impression X 05-068

The seeds were collected 7/6/09
And sown today 12/8/17

If anyone recognises this cross and can tell me what 05-068 is I would be extremely grateful!

Just a guess but maybe the row5 and seedling #68?

Maybe year 05 seedling 68

Thank you,

Yes, that might be the explanation. Never thought of rows and numbers.

I was wondering if anyone recognised it as their own system and just maybe knew what the seedling was like--bit of a long shot I know after so long. Can't remember who I bought them from and the seller might not even be on here.

Go to your "My Won" list on the Lily Auction and search for Imperial Impressions. It should turn up, unless it was a bonus.

Let us know if they germinate!

Yes, please keep us posted as to what you find out and whether they germinate.

I tried that, Ken, but it only lists ones after 2012, these ones come up as not listed as they are too old. Thank you, though!
