It's hard to believe more hybridizers aren't working with pollen-less lilies that last so long. One would think it would be highly sought after by florists. Here in Minnesota, it's a major project with hybridizer Tim Z. He is trying to breed the trait into larger flowers, so far with some success.


For those who haven't visited the North Star Lily Society website lately, you should. http://www.northstarlilysociet... They have a new feature on their intro page: [ NEW FEATURE: Minnesota Hybridizers ] which list the biographies of some past and present well known Minnesota hybridizers, among them, Tim Zimmerman. Tim Zimmerman was mentored by Julius Wadekamper. My compliments to such a comprehensive and well organized website. Smiling
