15 is gorgeous too. The spotting and that tease of yellow in the center

#4 is my fvoriete love the form and purity of color. Also really like 1,18,19, and 23. Wouldn't turn down any of them though.

Thank you folk for the recent thumbs and acorns, what a nice surprise! Some of the lilies here now are just memories...

Sorry to hear that some of them are gone.

Did you have a good season and make any crosses?

Yes, we all have those "memories".
And I was reminded just how many I have ( ) as I recently gave seminar presentations to the Manitoba Lily Society. They are an incredible group, by the way.

Hi Joshua and Rick! I feel like a bit of a stranger here, haven't kept up with any threads for months. It was a gorgeous summer, some really hot days. I made lots of crosses, though... and I already have hundreds of seed lots in the freezer, un-planted, so as I harvest them now I ask myself ...why!? It's a bit like compulsive hoarding. Compulsive crossing.

It could be several years before I have my own suitable space and facilities to plant again. I have to try and unclutter all the lilies I have now!

I don't look at it as hoarding, rather opportunity. Besides, all those pods might not yield so many seeds. It's a bit of a gamble for me.

Hope you have taken precautions if your freezer is the self defrosting kind.

Thanks Rick. Fortunately I have a chest freezer and it wouldn't dream of de-frosting without me

Rick please explain the whole self defrosting thing to me. I keep my seeds in my regular freezer attached to the fridge. Haven't had any issues. Is that self defrosting?

Actually, now as these many years have past, I don't think it is such a BIG deal anymore, but it's easy to take precautions. I store my seed in a bubble wrap envelope, inside a bubble wrap envelope, inside a bubble wrap envelope.
