Post #6252099

Silly me. I thought that LA HYBRID or HYBRID anything meant that it could not reproduce by seed. So after Showboat and Kiss Me Kate bloomed, I did not cut off the seed pods that formed. WELL...now I have a bazillion little tiny baby lilies coming up at the base of those bulbs' beds. I'm actually kind of excited, but I am wondering if there is anything special I should do for them?

Oh yes, and somehow, by no intentional action on my behalf, I also have a bazillion tiny baby lilies sprouting in two of my pots, which were no where near lilies last year!!

Will these offspring be identicals of the parents, or will they be crosses of my other lilies???? I have LA Hybrid, Asiatic, Oriental, LO Hybrid, Trumpet, Tiger...pretty much all kinds planted in my garden.

Edited to add: This was supposed to have been on the LILY forum. Can a moderator please move it? Thanks, L.
