Dear Friends and esp. Iain, Within the next two days I expect to have 50 plus stems of Lilium michiganense in bloom. Most stems are 3 ft tall with a single bloom, but a few are up to 5 ft tall with up to 5 flowers per stem. The run around my half-shade garden and are an architectural delight even out of bloom- The whorls of foliage seem impossibly elegant at times. The brilliant orange turks-cap flowers add a jewel-like touch to the picture. So the literature says there are populations that have bright yellow flowers, and others closer to red flowers, A friend from the American Lily Society has verified that tetraploids exist and so do other color combinations (green throat, spotted etc.) Since this is so 'happy' in my garden, I'm ready to plant other color forms near by. Can anyone suggest a source for any of these? At least the red or yellow forms? Do they come true from seed? and is there a seed source anywhere? Ready to expand! Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
