Crying what does one say when one has lost a Gloriowhatsits. Sad I wonder if the pot had seen daylight it might have been better.
They have been available here and quite cheap too, now I'm tempted to see if I can get another to see if I can get flowers on both and get seeds. Rolling my eyes. You're starting me off again Rick, and I was being so good! Hilarious!

I should bring in L. auratum, it's been getting belted by rain and I imagine the pots will be very wet, even though the drainage is very good it might not do them any good. The flowers on the other stem have opened now, they are drooping but would last better in the greenhouse and have a chance of getting seed. Insects have probably already done the job of pollination, the weather today will kill a lot of them!

I just dug up a pic of one of your crosses Rick, the same one which flowered last year, Lilium davidii x willmottiae and it's still in an 8" pot! Next year it will be it's turn to get a transplant.. most of the others are still in pots and doing OK, maybe better kept in pots than in the ground.
