Cross-posting this in the species & hybrids thread as well (
The thread "Lilies species & hybrids" in
Lilies forum) just to make sure this can be found again...
Here is my list thus far of possible primary hybrids (plus a few extra ones) that should be possible without special techniques (i.e. embryo rescue):

Hopefully this will be useful to a few people. Compiling it has certainly given me a few ideas!

Hi
@Protoavis - I found a number of seeds in the previous NALS exchanges (see my above document) that involve crossing
L. nepalense with Aurelians (the product of which appears to be fertile). This might be a good start for your plans. Perhaps start with that and then cross with some heat-tolerant, out-facing trumpets?
Also, for your
L. candidum plans, Darm Crook has shown
L. monadelphum can cross with both it and Asiatics derived from
L. bulbiferum (which, incidentally, produces bulbils - another of your likes). You could try for some
monadelphum-candidum hybrids and then cross those with
bulbiferum.
Joebass said:1. A flatter flowered green Aurelian with or without papillae and a black nectary. I would like the petals to be intermediate in size between Henryi and trumpet. I'm using my Henryi hybrid as the base for this program and getting whatever green I can get my hands on to work this up. I can work on the nectaries later.
Hi
@Joebass - is this the kind of green Aurelian you are looking for?
One of Paul's hybrids (my numbering: PR-T2C):
Unfortunately the pollen I collected from it this season grew mould
(it was the only one that did it, too... and I had plans for this one). I do have a few seed pods on it - hopefully they will be viable. If you're interested, let me know and I can try to get you some pollen next season (or if I have excess viable seed, some of that).
