My friend in the UK is a gold medal winner at Chelsea Flower Show. He is hoping to add a section to his display of lilies to promote new hybridizers and their creations. The Dutch hybridizers primarily create and produce bulbs for the cut flower industry. That is, upfacing lilies with a solid color. However, their a good market for lilies with spots and chevrons and mixed colors for home gardeners.
His plan is to display lilies. Those that create excitement or are much admired at the show have the possibility of being selected for propogation and production. This would involve assisting you with registration procedures and getting the bulbs ready to market. What is in it for you? Royalties!!!
In order to be considered, you should have at least 3-5 bulbs of the same lily. The bulbs are sent to me in the fall, cleaned and prepped for a phytosanitary certification and then shipped to the UK for evaluation and showing. If you are interested, please contact me. This is an ongoing project so if you don't have enough bulbs of your prized creation, please consider reproducing your bulbs to meet the minimum amount. This is a chance to be recognized and maybe, makes some money. Pictures must be submitted prior to shipping to me.
