This has not been a good year for some of my lilies so i post an old pic of grayii.I used to have two and had seed every year. Then one died and seed setting ceased.New small plants from various sources are coming along so I will eventually have seed again some time in the future.Books tell me that grayii is slender and less robust than canadense. However, my grayiis have always been twice as thick as my canadenses and come up later but very vigourously.Comments anyone? Is grayii stronger or weaker than canadense??Göte

Thanks, all!John, your L. canadense is gorgeous, as is L. polyphyllum! In the McRae book, it's said that L. canadense wants acid soil and constant moisture (neither of which we have here). Does that seem to be true?
And this little discussion you have had going on has definitely explained to me why my canadense died a few years ago.... obviously not nearly enough water while in growth. And I'm guessing it needs fairly dry/perfect drainage while dormant?
