I have lily seeds that I collected this summer - and I don't know quite how to tell if they are viable or not. I read on here someplace that a bright light will help show an embryo - and it would appear that maybe 30% or fewer show any shadows inside. Is that common?
These are primarily Oriental lilies, and the pods were just bee pods - nothing deliberately hybridized. I've been reading the thread about starting lilies from seeds, but you folks didn't start with the basics!
How do I "candle" the seeds (what do you really call that process?) and how would I plant them - depth, numbers of seeds, timing, etc.
I told you I was a newbie!
