Default Viviparous lily baby with flowers still attached


Yes, but I didn't think that was viviparous... and I didn't think hardies
do viviparous. But, looking it up the word viviparous: producing seeds that
germinate on the plant. So I guess so. :-)


Thanks for checking on the term. I assume the lily is hardy. It went
through our winter. I got it from Tom LaBron a few years ago. When
phyllis and I were chatting, she pointed out that a couple of years
ago I thought a very small lily had been uprooted by the koi. We
suspect it was in fact another of the viviporus babies. It looked
funny (like these) and did not look like a piece of root.

Maybe I should email Tom to see if he has a name for the yellow, stand
up lilies.
