We saw our hybridizing goals but what about species and hybrids in 2021.? What lilies you wish to grow this year? Any species/hybrid you wish to multiply this year?
My list of goals is long. First; I want to grow lilies from seed. I have over 1000 seeds of different species and some seeds of two hybrids. This month I plan to buy more seeds (species trumpets) so it will all be a big challenge considering this is my first time doing it. If I manage to grow 50% I will be more than happy.
Second; I want my lilium sulphureum to grow successfully. I was extremely happy when I bought the bulb last year. Lilium sargentiae was also my wish, but unfortunately I was unable to get a bulb. Maybe I'll have more luck this year.
Third; 'Black Dragon' project. This is a long-term project that should start this year by procuring more bulbs of this selection (I could have already had them, but due to the pandemic I failed). The goal is to propagate this lily in as many numbers as possible and distribute it not only in the neighborhood but also in Europe.
The last goal concerns lilium candidum and its distribution in nature. This is actually the easiest because I have a lot of small candidums that I have grown from scales. One part could already have its natural habitat by the end of the summer.
