Thanks everybody! This is my first real effort at growing lilies from seed and I was getting a bit disappointed with what I was seeing compared to what I was reading. I wasn't taking into account differences in techniques, experience and growing environment. Some of the things I've read make it all sound so simple though I do know that it's never as easy as some make it out to be. I'll have to keep plugging along and see what works for me and what doesn't. I'll take a photo or two of my seedlings so you can see what's going on.
