I have orange growing. I got those bulbs from Hortico in Canada. I just ordered red from Edelweiss perennials in Oregon....hopefully they are in stock and I will get them, not sure when they would bloom to share seeds. I am just starting some seeds for yellow. Georgia Vines is selling red seed. Keep an eye on Gardens North in Canada in case they offer seed again, I have some growing that I got from them.

I found a small patch of about 10 spread out single specimens in Brookfield Massachusetts along a river bank growing in sandy soil and took home a very small root stock and planted it. the first year a single stock grew about 36 inches and bloomed, three years later i have a patch of approx. 20 stalks in a tight patch with the tallest stalks reaching over 7 feet tall !!! as far as all the books tell they max out at 5 foot so either they really like where i planted them or it is a new taller variety ? As far as i know they are a wild flower and only come in shades from light orange to almost red. the ones I have are a very vibrant pumpkin yellow/orange. This fall I will have seeds to trade for some Turks cap lily seeds

We have two wild, bright yellow Canada lilies growing in separate, semi-shaded areas of our yard. They are gorgeous and we just identified them with our wildflower book. They have come up every year for the past 5 years we've lived here. I'd be interested in propagating them; also, would like to try my hand at the other two colors.
Has lance shaped, mid green leaves borne in whorls on upright stems. Bears yellow, slightly scented, trumpet shaped flowers with recurved petal tips and spotted with deep red/maroon.
Flowers June-September
Loves a moist but well-drained neutral to acid soil in full sun or light shade but may tolerate slightly alkaline soil in a situation where it is happy.
