Oooo, S-8 is nice!

Yes, nice, but all of only 15 inches tall this year .

S-8 beautiful pard.

A NALS exchange seedling from Tropical Isle X mixed OT pollen:

Gorgeous!

Connie--you know I love it!

With that neat white band it was the best bloom of four siblings, bloom wise. No other saving features though as they all have low bud count (max four) and horrible form. Another seedling is interesting because it maintains a very dark bronze colored colored foliage for much of the season, very unusual. It turns dark green about the time the blooms start opening. Weird.

I'm getting so I like looking at all of these seedlings more than the named varieties. It's neat to see what traits came from the parents. Sometimes they are unexpected.

The first one is a seedling that I have selected for scaling. It have many buds and the flowers are looking great too.


The next one selected for propagation is a 1c tango, the only one I have from the bag of seeds.


This is a lily that I don't remember but it is growing together with selected lilies from last year. It's a keeper.


This trumpet is from a cross with Prince Promise. I really like it's colour.


This one are from seeds last year, maby my own cross. This year it has only one flower.


This one I'm not sure where it's coming from since I have not done any crosses with brush mark lilies.


This is maby from the cross Grand Cru x Stellar Light.


This is what you get crossing a tango (Mistika) with Lolypop. Not too many buds this year, maby next year)


This one was a surprise for me, have not seen this earlier years, it's a seedling. I am quite sure that it's from the cross Mistika x Lolypop. I'm going to keep this one.I'm talking about the white 1c lily.

Nice show grapus--everything so nice green and lush appearing. Lilies must really like your climate. All of them are very interesting, especially that Trumpet X Purple Prince. It seems to have that special petal substance of Purple Prince. These are all beautifull!!

Thanks. Yes, I really like that one too. Made a cross with it and White Henryi last year, hoping for some interesting seedlings. This summer have been too wet, no need for any watering in my garden this summer.

What a treat this morning! Thanks for posting your seedlings grapus. They are all very nice.

Thanks. This time of the year is the time I'm looking foreward most of the year. I'm really enjoying it. And I'm also enjoying to see all of your great lily pictures.

This lily is not a seedling of mine but it's a great lily. It don't have a name only the cross. it's 4n L. regale x 4n White Henryi. It's fertile for 4n OT lilies.

Very good show Oystein!!!!!!

Always a pleasure viewing your seedling grapus. Beautiful!

Thanks, Tracey. Yours too.

Just wonderful! Good job with those crosses!

Here are photo's of a seedling that I planted on 10-25-08. It has bloomed twice so far. I purchased the seeds from Rainbow (lilyseeds) and they labeled it as:
(T8-22BxT9-67B) #1 David Sims x Gold Eagle. Please, don't ask me what the numbers are. I plan on e-mailing Rainbow on the name.

Picture 6-Oystein -I have it here, and i did crosses in the past and I think I sent you some of it,.,.I will hunt the name down!!

No,Anthony, they are not from you. The seeds from you that I have sown is RASCAL x BLACK BIRD and 2 different trumpets. This year I have sown some tango crosses from you but they will not bloom before next year. I'm really happy that you liked it. Some of the seeds sown last year was not my own crosses. My experience are that I sometime get other lilies than expected. In 2009 I sow some trumpet crosses 4n and I was expecting some trumpets, bought seeds. But One of the seedlings that now are growing in a new bed seems to be a lily that looks like one of the hybrids made by Robert Griesbach. It's a great lily but a big surprise.
