A few orphan lilies of my own.
Louis XIV Open pollinated
And any lily in bloom is a favorite. But I tend to adore the underdog, the less utilized. Trumpets have gone by the wayside, in commerce, over the last few years. Am thankful for places like the Lily Garden and the Lily Nook for continuing to provide us with great trumpet lilies, especially the 4n (tetraploids). I feel that the trumpets have been replaced, so to speak by the OT lilies. While OTs are nice, much of beauty I find in the trumpet has been lost. 'Pink Jazz' would be my exception to that statement.
TRumpets and a little craziness: I go crazy over the reverses, I adore green, red and chocolate. The forms, the colors, the perfumes! Ahhhhhhh! Just talking about them, the scent almost floats into my senses!
Admittedly, I am probably the least genetic knowledgable around here. I have learned so much though, from knowing nothing about the theories in lily genetics, to knowing a bit. I will try anything to cross, haven't done any ER yet. I like pollen and will stick to that.:greengrin:
