Blooming lilies and crosses I have done

It's the best time of the year, the lilies are blooming. Almost every day new flowers opens. Some are new seedlings that where supposed to be something different than it turned out to be and most are named hybrids.

This is a seedling, my own cross. The cross are Yellow tigerlily x Lowana. Only one flower this year and it producing bulbils.

This might be Golden Splendor. I'm pollinatin it with different aurelian pollen.

This lily are from seeds. Supposed to be a 4n OT but it's not. I guess it's a 4n trumpet. It's been pollinated with OT pollen.

This is the same lily as above.

 A Griesbach OT from seeds.

This is a L. davidii- hybrid, open pollinated. I like it's shape and hope that the next generation will not be orange. It's pollinated with pollen from Lion Heart.

In 2011 I sow and planted out seedlings from seeds I got from Robert Griesbach. Last year I dug up 2 bulbs from 4n White Henryi type. I was surprised to see that the bud was orange but also bigger than buds at L. henryi. After it finally opened totally it was this beautiful lily. No doubt that it's a seedling from a aurelian cross that I had mixed with the seedlings from Griesbach. It's pollinated with pollen from Australia ( Mego hybrid x Black Heart White).

I thought I had lost this lily a few years ago. I was happy to fin it in my garden last year. It's a asiatic lily from Latvia. It's name are Mistika.

OT lilies blooming

This spring a friend of mine sent me some bulbs. This week the first one started to bloom.
Here are African Lady, a lily with L. nepalense blood:

All the flowers have been pollinated with exelent OT pollen from a friend of mine.

 

 

 

Pollination

The lilies have started to bloom in the greenhouse. Every day new flowers have opened and are ready to be pollinated. Most of them are asiatics but also Lankon are blooming. I'm not sure if I have any pollen that would give seeds with it. The first flowers are also loosing their petals and most of the seed pods are swelling. A Danish friend of mine sent me some pollen of John Lykkegaards hybrids and I have done some pollinations with that too.

This on are a lily that I got from a friend. It's taller in the greenhouse than out in the garden. I really love 1c lilies and hope for some exiting seedling from this
.

 

 

 This orange have been growing in my garden for some years but I can't remember where it comes from. So far no seed pods are swelling. It could be a triploid or a tetraploid. Today I pollinated it with some pollen from 4n asiatics.

The purple tango are a selected seedling from Lykkegaards seeds. In the garden it's more recurved than in the greenhouse.

In 2010 my wife and I where in Denmark for a vacation. The last day we where in Denmark we visited John Lykkegaard and his wife. John gave me some lilies, I'm quite sure that this one are one of them. I was really surprised when it opened and was not a tango. But it's a pure yellow 1c lily. I see many possibilities with it. All the pollen I use on it are from tango lilies.
