Hi Hank! Thanks for dropping in. It's good you can see your babies. I think it must be the hardest thing about donating seed - you might never get to see them!
I like those pumilum babies. They don't seem at all to be suffering from 'neglect'. If that's what a lily likes I think I can manage to dish out quite a bit of it!
Rick, thanks for posting the tree. I'm glad to see that pumilum and cernuum are so close because I was thinking of the possibilty that " cernuum album" is really a pumilum form. But then also my two-year old freezer pollen could be suss!
The background of your seeds is interesting, Hank. They're both lovely flowers (why I picked the seed lot!) I would never have guessed 'My Joanne' was in the gene line. Another one opened today, looking a bit rough with misbehaving petals:
Funny how one is chubby like dad but has mum's spotting and the other is slim like mum but has some of dad's colouring. There's
almost a brushmark in the first seedling... if you look real close!
One more from the cross to flower this year too.

Lovely pics. Did you seat the Napa Valley cross in the chair for the photo op?
A wise move, since it visually masks the fence behind.
I'm glad you like the pics. I tried to get a good pic of the 'posing chair' for you, but it was bright and windy out there. This was the best I could do in a cloudy minute:
It's a 'seedling bed'!
