Our dear friend Lisa contributed lilies to H W Hyde & Son for his "Chelsea Project" last year. The "Chelsea Project," as I call it is Mr. Hyde's adventure into find new and exciting lilies from less known sources, growing them on, and then the flowers will be displayed at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2011. The flowers drawing the most attention and displaying the best growing habits for garden use, will be registered and propagated for the lily market. Royalties will be granted for the hybridizers who plants get selected. I know we are all cheering for Lisa here! Check out the tab named Chelsea 2011 here: http://www.hwhyde.co.uk/

WHooo-Hooo!!! YEAH, Lisa!
Maybe she can win for a bunch of lilies and get enough royalties to start fresh (personally & business-wise) and all the lilyholics can live happily ever after Hurray! Thumbs up

If we have Ramona & Lisa...the rest are gravy (or hot fudge since I'm an ice cream-holic) Smiling

May the royalties be large and the lilies not be lost. The best are not forgotten. 'Superior' should be in the lily hall of fame, along with so many others you have hybridized. Simply the best.Thumb of 2010-08-02/magnolialover/4c9e07

I'm still on DG. I posted it on 'Buggycrazy Goes Worldwide' thread, and I'm sure Arlene will post also.

Best of luck, Lisa.
