Ok fellas now that I see that you all have the beginings of this trait in some of your lilies let's see what you can do with them.
I have never seen that lily 'Strip Tease' by Fred Fellner. I am sure the first seedling here probably goes back to Fred's stuff somewhere along the line as I usually visit Fred once a summer and collect pollen and the occasional seedling as well to enhance what ever I am working on at the time.
Since this seedlings just bloomed for the first time this season and I carefully moved it to a select bed we will have to see what kind of stem it gets. I am expecting though that it will be at least three feet as one of its parents was a good four feet and the other at least 3 feet - time will tell.
Rick, I would suggest that you find a particular trait and just go for it. Take it as far as you can.
