Dear rain lily enthusiasts; I am continuing on my quest to produce a rain lily checklist. I now have more than a majority of the original diagnoses of rain lily species in my notes and have found over 160 cultivar names in the literature. When my work is finished it will be made available to the bulb societies. But I am trying to be very fastidious in documenting and verifying my information. I have already noticed that misinformation has crept onto the internet. I am hoping that this checklist will eliminate the errors that are beginning occur. I am putting out this message to ask that if I have not already contacted you, to please e-mail me if you are hybridizing rain lilies,or have created a new clone, and might distribute it at some point in the future. If you grow a number of clones I would like your input to see if they are carrying the right names. As yet there is no comprehensive reference to the work that has been done and is being done with rain lilies. I am hoping with the help of many collaborators to provide a reference and acknowledgement of our current history that will otherwise be lost. I applaud the PBS wikki and I would hope that you will all support it. Bit many clones and species have not been photographed. This checklist will provide a comprehensive reference that will be vetted by as many experts as possible. If you are willing to help I will add you to the list of contributors an honor that future gardeners should respect. Contact me at rpries@sbcglobal.net
