Ah, yes, Michael, that is correct. The garden source seed is not the most
vigorous.
Someone offered wild collected seed last year, but I can't put my finger on
who it was.
Perhaps the supplier in Germany.
It its just too valuable of a parent plant in breeding to NOT have, even
if it is difficult.

Michael, if you have extra seeds of L. chalcedonicum, I would like to get
some from you. Let me know if you are looking for other Lilium species to
trade.
Rick, I live near Longview, Washington. I am growing some seedlings of L.
chalcedonicum, but no blooming stems yet. I have bloomed several L.
pomponium, so I am hopeful. Years ago, I bloomed chalcedonicum in
Portland, OR. But it only lasted two years. I find that this lily is very
weak. I suspect that the seed from garden sources is highly inbred.
