Name: SteveW Bow, WA (Zone 8b) Busy building a lily collection...
Several new seedlings are flowering for the first time here. I'm just waiting for the flowers to fully open before posting more photos, but here are two for a start. The first is a seedling from Connie's cross (Tropical Isle x Sims similar) x Tropical Isle (NALS 61-003). The second is from Jim Astarita: Tropical Isle x Awesome (NALS 61-072). Both are pretty awesome to my mind. I'll use their pollen on some other established trumpets.
That second one from Joe especially looks incredible. Any pics of its natural orientation and reverse color? Given its background, even if the reverse isn't too spectacular, the good genes must be lurking in there.

Eric, The top two Aurelians in that photo were started from Jeff Stiller seed. The red stripe Aurelian is actually a seaweed deep green color in the "heart" not a black heart but dark.
