Celebrating Gardening: 2015
thanks everyone. I will use the bag routine then and see how that goes........

what happens if the bees cross pollinate the lilies in the summertime.

I plan on just removing the flowers as they die off so they do not go to seed........ a nature cross pollinated lily would be nice to see though..

another thing I was wandering is if and the lily club here said nobody has had any real luck with crossing a stargazer and a casa blanca lily. I would love to try that as well in the summer once they are in bloom and save the seeds and try to plant them. I will put a piece of foil on as well to make sure that is all that pollinates the mother.

I thought I was the only silly lady that was over the moon for lilies. Glad that I found this forum.

up here the thoughts is that the biggest pollinators will likely be the moths and also the hummingbirds...... but there are tons of bumble bees and honey bees here as well.
