That was a funny one, I really like it.

Lisa's 'Lavender Frost' sdlg

Not bad at all. When I see your seedling I regret that I send the seeds I had from the same cross like you, to my friend in USA.

Rosthornii x White trumpet seedling

Anthony! your pix didnt open

Was just browsing thru and fell in love with Tropical Isle.

You can edit your post Anthony and you need to delete that space between the bracket and the first 'lightbox'.

This was my best selling Trumpet/aurelian, "Awesome". I sent some lilies to a friend here when I am but the gophers got ALL the trumpets. Anyone with one to trade please contact me.

This is my favorite Tumpet/Aurelian baby, Lavender Frost, I would like to find it also

here is one I hope I sent to England, T805

Here is a light yellow upfacing, blooming in the seed flat

Here is another one I hope I sent to England T920

All are just beautiful.My favorite is the melon colored first one.

Just beautifu, Buggy.

Lisa---I started some Lavender Frost X Chief Chetzemoka seed last Spring, 2012. I got it from the NALS 2012 seed listing, item# 62-188 by Joe Nemmer (PA), so, right there, we know where at least one Lavender Frost is at--for hopefully some scales if nothing else.

For readers info--I started a few of Lisa's crosses last Spring and have a few more scheduled to be planted this Spring. My hope is one day I can return some of the best selections from these back to Lisa if she can find a special place in her garden for them.

Lorn,that is really great thinking.
I had a GF who was locally renowned watercolor painter.
She became suddenly ill and was unable to paint ever again.
Those of us who had original paintings from her, donated them to her family so they could make reproductions for her to sale.

As far as I am concerned, there are not enough Trumpets and Aurelians on the market. I love the black-eyed Aurlians and here is a seedling from Brian Bergman that he calls Burnt Toast

Thats a great lily.

Ramona, I couldn't agree with you more! I believe we might see somewhat of a resurgence of them in the near future and most of those might be in the intermediate height range. I've been collecting and crossing them ever since I realized they were losing ground to Orienpets (about 20 years ago). And now, Trumpets and Aurelians are central to my lily growing. It's quite a challenge (and fun) to find an older cultivar.

Its bulb harvest time here.. Time to see whats in there under the dirt- and what isnt..I produced a good 18 or so, Sinfonia x Flugelhorn cross.. Summer palace x Parasol, about a dozen,Aurelians, about 20 and 2 tiny Mcrae -Kelloggii[shuksan],.all from seed.,.,Many more, yet to harvest, but things are really looking good[thanks people, for the seeds]
