Dear BX fans, I will be collecting stem bulbils from L. lancifolium Diploid Form, 'Flore Plena' and my "Giant" for the BX. Since there is only a single 'Giant' plant, there are few bulbils, but there should be plenty of bulbils from the diploid and double. Watch for Dell's announcement in a few weeks. There is some concern over L. lancifolium as a refuge for serious virus infection in lilies. Apparently symptoms are not visible in L.lancifolium, but can harm sensitive othe species and cultivars of lilies growing nearby. I have never seen symptoms of virus in my plants, nor in other lilies growing mixed in very closely. I live in a climate that is not kind to virus with extremes of heat, cold and drought. These might also be conditions that favor expressions of viral stress, but I have yet to see these symptoms. Just a warning for those who are concerned about the potential for introducing new lilies into their collection. Enjoying a bit of much need rain and craving still more.
