Scaly rhizomes of Achimenes 'Robert Dressler'>From Jim waddick:///Lilium/ formosanum tall form. There has been considerable discussion on thislist about this species in July. My original plants came from seed collectedat the North Carolina University Arboretum, now the J.C. Raulston Arboretumin Raleigh NC from plants with flowering stems about 8 ft tall. My plantshave grown well for years and seeded about slightly. These seeds are freshlymatured and pods have split. All plants have the same origin so height offlower stalk is related to growing conditions, soil, rainfall, etc. I havekept seed separate from 2 different plants9. . L. formosanum from a plant with stems 4 ft tall. Flowers large whitetru mpets.10. L. formosanum from a plant with stems 8 ft tall. Flowers large whitetrumpets. If planted early and kept growing, they can bloom from seed by theend of their first year, but more likely in their second year. Among the easiest of all lilies from seed.Thank you, Mary Sue, Bob, and Jim !!Best wishes,DellDell Sherk, PBS BX_______________________________________________pbs mailing listpbs@lists.ibiblio.orghttp://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.phphttp://… http://cbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
