Anyone recognise this lilly variety from the leaves?
It only grows to around a foot high but has lovely leaves.
The flowers are typical lilly shape in white, but its too late to
photograph any flowers at this time of year.

I've just collected a lot of orange berries from them and separated the
seeds out. Quite a good harvest. Any tips on how to store them and plant
them next year? Will they need chilling before planting?

Arum italicum pictum, aren't they? I don't *think* they need to be chilled
before planting and after a while the clumps start self-seeding.
