Lilly identification and advice please
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. http://www.avisoft.co.uk/Photos/lilly.jpg 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? -- David in Normandy.

I don't *think* they need to be chilled before planting and after a while the clumps start self-seeding. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

I hope I have better luck with the seeds this year. Last year I simply put the berries in some seed trays and left them outside but didn't get a single seedling. My guess is something ate them over Winter. So a bit more TLC this time and I won't set the seeds until Spring. -- David in Normandy.
