Isn't part of hybridizing creating and keeping what it is you want to see? I am no lily judge, that's for sure
But I do adore the tall ones, even when they reach for the sky. So the unappealing part would be that there aren't more flowers on the way up the stem? Bud count?
I would guess that based on what I have seen as pod parents and pollen parents on the Lily Register, that many that aren't registered, are parents one way or another, of ones that are registered.
Don't cry Laura! It will be nicer next year. I have about 12 of them, so I am showing you the best of the best, or the best as I see it, of course. It really varies in the way it doubles too.
And you would love Morden Butterfly and Hiawatha. The colors are very special.
