Title: Lilium alexandrae & others Lilies
Post by: Uschi 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

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!

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