Three years! Damn... I had L. pyrenaicum seed planted years ago that I may just have given up too soon on.....
Maybe I'll have to go to the show party at Glenbrook
I haven't really cracked the culture of the monadelphum-szovitsianum group either. I have one little L.szovitsianum bulb left out of a group that were doing fantastically and seemed just a year off flowering when I lifted them to move house. It makes just one leaf a year... doesn't die on me and doesn't make any progress either!
I have new L.szovitsianum seed now and am going to try again, so thanks for the tip of going with outdoor planting from the start. I'm still looking for L. monadelphum, if anyone knows of a source.
Calin, I've just joined the RHS Lily Group, and am hoping to be lucky and find some of the seeds I'm looking for in their seed distribution list. You may not be guaranteed of getting what you want, but I think it's a cheaper first option than the prices you listed?
