Well, it's going to be interesting for sure because lilies are more popular now than ever before and with such increased popularity, something is bound to evolve from it. We will benefit. I believe the independant, family owned growers/sellers will benefit as well as more and more of the newly deeply involved/interested come aboard for Species, Marts, Trumpets, Aurelians, etc. Mass production/mass marketing will never be able to accomodate this sector (those like us) but availablity of these for the more deeply involved will be, most likely from the small independant growers moreso even than in the 70's and 80's. I remember B&D had many more for sale in the 80's then but shifted growing/selling in response to increased demand of the more fashionable newer hybrids. To be sure, the future will provide us something very ineresting to talk about.

Anyone else have some thoughts of the future?
