It sure does get "busy" out there when things are in full bloom, especially. Though I am surprised still at how many hummingbirds are still around. I've seen one every day this week. Butterflies too, still going strong.
I peer now and again at the Yahoo Group and saw some discussion of tetra orientals. It's a term I hadn't really heard before this. Looking through catalogs from growers who are ones to list such traits, I hadn't seen the word tetra ever used when speaking of an oriental lily. Can anybody help me here? I would say orientals in general have nice, strong, if you will, pollen. I haven't ever had a cross NOT take when going from oriental to oriental, at least not that I can recall. The same cannot be said for trumpet to trumpet or asiatic to asiatic.
