For this year, the selections are being made, the crosses are making seed and the flowers are de-budded.
Due to the very hot and 'long' Summer, it was a challenging season, but still very successful year and that will hopefully carry on into the new seedling for the Future.
A part of our seedling field looked like the colors in an Asiatic seedling field, a lot of pastel.
A picture of that section is underneath this message
A part of the selections, which were made, will be shown on our 'Selections Cut' page.
While looking at them you will conclude, that there are several new colors and color combinations available now in Oriental hybrids.
For the retail we were able to select many new varieties, including L. Speciosum hybrids.
In contrast to L. Speciosum var. 'Uchida' or 'Album', they will flower 4 weeks earlier and in some cases 6 weeks.
All the lilies we selected this year will be scaled or replanted.

Most are still growing strong and available
