No, I just started seed from Pard this Spring. These were from seedling stock thru Michael Homick, our seed keeper-NALS. I lean towards 'Historicals' with special interest. Edit added: That's why search older neighborhoods every chance I get for tell tale signs of anything historical. And Michael Homick has a pretty extensive knowledge and interest in historicals, also. Many of my collection of older Division 6 crosses were obtained as seedling stock from him as well as my own hybrids of them
I think I'll start a new thread on this because I have way too many to be appropriate for Mags original intent and meaning of this thread which I like and want to preserve.
Øystein, yes that is a probable outcome of the open pollinated seed of Super Tsing. Did you notice the extra petals? Since I see six stamens on the flower, I think they must be true petals. It will be interesting to see how it blooms next year. You might have something valuable.
The second pic is definitely not Claude Shride open pollinated. The Claude Shride genes are way to dominant to allow a completely white offspring. It could be from Terrace City open pollinated seed. It looks like a straight Lilium martagon var. album, but I also have a pure white seedling from a known cross of gold and white martagon lilies:
So it is not beyond the realm of possibilities that your white came from Terrace City. I may have had a white martagon open at the time for cross pollination with Terrace City.
That is a wonderful seedling you have grown from Griesbach seed. My seedlings from him are very pokey...

First bloom on this Asiatic seedling from NALS lot# 17-252 (2007): (Raspberry Butterfly x yellow 1c tango) X Saarturm. The second photo best represents the true color, a bronze red with black raised papillae bumps:
These Asiatic seedlings are from Cascade seeds and I have shown them year after year on the forums. So you guys are stuck again. There are fewer of them; these are the ones that have toughed it out with my benign neglect and down right over podding abuse.
This is GH-A-3, the one that has little circles instead of solid spots. I didn't get a close up this time, so look close:
A couple others:
Can't forget the one that has come to be known as Moby's Swan Dive; I'm propagating a few extras of this one:
My own cross of Citronella x Latvia. I'm working toward pendant tango types.
On to my trumpets; from NALS seed lot# 66-195 (2006), my greenest trumpet so far:
From NALS seed lot#65-218 (2005): Pink aurelian x Bob Allen's purple (very dark purple). Its stem is rather weak and I didn't really care for it until I noticed how the light interacted with it; very colorful!
I lost the tag to this nice dark purple trumpet but it is certainly seed from either Sims or Cascade Seed:
Another lost label seedling; the color isn't all that uniform, in my opinion:
Tetraploid pink edged white trumpets that I have crossed amongst each other and have seedlings in progress. Seed from Sims:
In the OT department I have seedling S-2 which has multiplied to around six or seven stems. This is the pod parent of Tracey's seedling here (http://garden.org/thread/view_...)
Always enjoy seeing what you put up for posting, Connie. I like those where there's interaction with lighting too, like the 65-218. I think you had favorable weather for good bud and color development. All very nice! I really enjoy your work and it's fun to see the S-2 'tie in' to Traceys' plant. That worked out really good! The seeds I got from you are doing really well; I'll Tree Mail some info/ pics when things lighten up here.
That's a very nice bunch of lilies, pard. Your GH-A-3 is really interesting ~ with its orange color and unusual spots, I thought 'Cheeto' would be a good name for it but, sadly, cheetas have solid spots.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?

My first bloom of seeds that I started on 4-10-10 of Robert Griesbach. It has a few defects on the bloom but it is the first time it bloomed.

Mike, I've got a lot of 'Greisbach' material here, -should bloom this year[Dec-Jan],.,.like my seedling blooms last year, yours look to have been affected by the heat,.,.Not everyone, has the facility, to shade everything-and not everyone has a good memory.,,.Ive got some 'tri-color' trumpets[tetras] of his, that will ''definately'' bloom this year,.,should be a good show!
Wow! Only 2 years! Looks like your wooden box method works out really good for you. You're lucky you live in a climate where you can do that. Looks like it's got good petal substance too--nice color!
I guess we should be posting on a new 'split' to this thread as per Connies July 13th post above but just had to say it's always interesting to see what you've got growing!
