Lilium: a curiosity
Lilium henryi stands alone in my garden and never produces seeds: I imagine that it is not self-pollinating.
However, this year, out of the thirty or so flowers, one formed a pod... which kept on ripening.
it never really ripened, in fact, but when the stem turned brown, i dissected it:
a large number of empty seeds, and other things, flat, thick and fat, without a solid seed coat: it seems to be more bulbils than seeds after all.
Is it trying to propagate vegetatively out of spite?
