Title: NEW DOUBLE Lillium hybrids with no pollen!!!!
Post by: Gerard Oud on June 16, 2010, 03:35:55 PM: Here is a view from our secret greenhouse where we grow the first year and second year seedlings of Lilliums. Pictures have been taken at De Jong Lillies the place where i work a lot besides the bulbs (Snowdrops) i grow myself.
Lots of these Lillies are still with no name but that will change coming years, just one i have shown here before the double Red Twin.

regards Gerard

In your first picture, and almost right in the centre, there is a very dark red lily. Can you show a picture of that one please? 8)

Practicing diplomacy I see, no dust bin comments tonight, eh? ;D I would've been satisfied with such a response :-X

"peony-centred" Liliums? A real boon for florists who will save the time they usually take to cut off the stamens!
cheers

There have been a lot of media reports about toxicity of lilies; where cats have brushed against lilies and got the pollen on their fur then licked it off, it can act as a kidney toxin with fatal consequences. (Dogs seem to be immune)
