Hi Hassan,
whereabouts do you garden and under what conditions? Would you need a glass house for some of the African /Central American bulbs?
cheers

Hi  Fermi

I am from Brunei and the climate is  Ultra-Tropical

A glasshouse may be needed for Cool growing bulbs

Well, I'd call it pleasantly tropical.  There is that refreshing sea breeze.
And I saw roses growing in Sabah, so non-tropicals are certainly possible.

Hi  All

Can anyone advise me how to raise Lilium formosanum & philippinense seeds in the Tropics?

I guess in the Tropics must have a special trick to treat them

A few years back  I grow several seeds of Lilium under normal condition but with no success :( 

Probably the seed is expired and needs to be fresh or Lilium itself is fussy when it comes

to growing condition?

Hassan,

I saw Lilium phillippinense growing on steep hillsides when I was
travelling by bus in the mountains of Luzon.  I imagine it needs a well-drained
place.

According to Ed McRae, who hybridized lilies in Oregon, U.S.A.,
 it grows very quickly and will flower in less than a year in a greenhouse.

Hello Hassan,
 welcome to the forum.

 I just checked the plantfinder and  while it shoes one record for Calochortus purpureus, a  the next page shows that the plant was last listed in 2004 so not a lot of chance of finding a supplier, I'm afraid.

Calochortus purpureus grows in mountains in Mexico.

Telos Rare Bulbs in California supplies a lot of calochortus
species, but not purpureus.

You may like to look at the list of calochortus they do have:
