From Rick Rodich , elsewhere in the Forum, on 3rd November

Rick wrote : I only have one clone of Lilium papilliferum, and it was through the generosity of a forum member here that I obtained pollen in hopes of producing seed.

Success! They are small seed, but look very good. They germinate IE according to Ed McRae and Darm Crook. Darm has them germinating in 8-15 days, and recommends that once germinated, quite dry conditions are required or the seedlings will be lost.
