Neal--I always like to see full rows of lilies in full bloom. But most times you don't get to see it that way because they all get disbudded for bulking up to size for fall harvest. When I saw that row of Lankons, the first thing I thought of was: 'I wonder how many scales did it take?' After the season dies down a little, I'll think I'll ask just for the heck of it. I'm curious. I've done a little scaling myself over the years and found that there are some easy, high yield and some tough, low yield cultivar scales. In general, I've found the more distant the cross, the lower the bublet count per scale.
