Lily fragrances

Dear Ken,
WHy don't you get one of your lily bulbs to a professional who can
propagate it, either by traditional means or by tissue culture? I can put
you in touch with such people if you don't know them already.

Besrt regards,
Jane McGary

Hi, Jane
L washingtonianum-

there is said to be a low-elevation population from the southern
Willamette Valley that was easier to grow, but I don't know anyone who has
it, and the native population is no doubt long eradicated by farming).

The bulb(s?) that I have are from the local, low elevation
population; unfortunately, there only seems to be one clone and it does
not self. I've been looking for a pollen source to get seeds, so far
without luck. The scales are long, narrow and thin, and curved. I haven't
tried to scale it, it probably would need a spoon or something to get them
off at the basal plate. I do have the equipment to tissue culture some
scales, all I lack is the ambition.
The plant is unique in having no spotting and I'd like to see it
preserved. How has been the problem.
Ken
