Years ago, I grew from seed, and flowered successfully, Lilium chalcedonicum, surely a triumph in our environment. In our climate in the Seattle area, it is not perfectly suited ,as it is susceptible to both botrytis, and root diseases. I consulted Lily expert , grower, and breeder, Judith Freeman, and she confirmed that this is not the greatest species for our area. HOWEVER........... this species is invaluable in breeding . Being a parent of the beautiful, and rarely available hybrid Lilium x testaceum, I have several species I would like to try to make experimental crosses with. Is anyone growing this species? Does anyone have bulbs, seed, or resources for this species? Have you made your own experimental crosses using this species as one of the parents? Rick K
