Hi all, George Goldsmith's question about significant factors in pollination and Dylan Hannon's reply makes me wonder about my failures to pollinate Lilium catesbaei. I have several L. catesbaei plants that I have tried hand pollinating on numerous occasions without success. Once, and only once, a plant was pollinated by some insect. Foolishly, I didn't keep the seed--I thought I could just produce more whenever I wanted. I currently have four plants in bud and would appreciate any suggestions for successful pollination of this species or lilies in general. I know the plants are not the same clone--three of them I grew from seed, and the fourth came from another grower. Thanks.
