When you talk about appeasement regarding yourself, it is very subjective. (A redundant statement, I know.)
With respect to plants overall (not just lilies), if I had the time, I would realistically grow about twice as many species, and 5 times the number of plants, in a lot double the size. Alas, who has the time? Perhaps when I retire... I am a mad propagator. I attempt grow 100-150 new types of plants from seed every year. I'd say about half of those actually sprout. Thank goodness I have a ready donation outlet for my excess seedlings, etc. - our local chapter of the American Rock Garden Society.. Very few lilies, though. Most are very specialized.
While I don't necessarily claim to be a balanced person, one must balance their time, although I'm not sure I do well at that, either. Everyone wants to do more than they can do. Still, I am sufficiently appeased as it is.
