Lilium alexandrae & others Lilies
« on: October 10, 2008, 08:55:37 AM »
Hi,
can someone point me to sources of Lily-seeds?
I am looking for
Lilium sherriffiae, henrici and especially: Lilium alexandrae.
Noone seems to offer these currently  :-[

Regards
Uschi

Hello,
I think, I have found a source of Lilium alexandrae now (someone is selling seeds of it currently at eBay), but if you know sources of the other Lily-species mentioned, please do not hesitate to contact me or reply to this posting!

Maggi,

I don't think Rainbow Francom has ever offered any of these species. Surely the most likely source is from amongst SRGC members?

Very likely, Rob, our Members  ARE amazing.... but worth flagging up a commercial supplier, out of interest!

Lilium henrici and sherriffae are almost never available.  L. alexandrae is sometimes available through the RHS Lily Group seed list.  I may have some alexandrae this Fall.  Please send me a personal message if you would like some.
