Jim asked > I am looking for dry summer lilies to use in my oak woodland landscaping; Sunset zone 14 Modesto; CA; Lilium bolanderi, L. humboldtii, L. parvum, L. rubescens, and or L. washingtonianum. Does anyone know where I can get them? > Modesto, which is in the heart of California's Central Valley and has adobe clay soils, might be too hot for some of these lilies, especially L. washingtonianum, which is a subalpine to alpine species. Lilium parvum is reputed to be the most widely adapted of the species mentioned. Lilium bolanderi requires very good drainage and is also found at higher elevations. I haven't grown L. humboldtii, but have grown L. rubescens, which resembles a smaller version of washingtonianum; it is native to the Coast Range of northern California, where I've seen it growing on hillsides.
