The following lilies are currently growing here on our acreage, most are under evaluation for future registration with the Royal Horticultural Society's Lily Registry. Some I have tentative names for already, others are still just a number in the database. These lilies have all been grown from seed or bulbs starting in 1997, and were dug from Fred's own hybridizing field. These lilies will be evaluated for 5 to 10 years at our location, to be sure they meet or exceed our standards for great garden lilies. What do I look for in a great garden lily? How about botrytis resistance, long bloom period, early or late season bloomers, flower substance and overall longevity in the bulbs. Of course, the coloring in various weather conditions is of high importance as well. Flowers which do not fade in the hot summer sun are most desirable!!

<< Here's a photo of an unregistered Fellner hybrid, named by Fred as Silverwood. This lily was previously sold and listed by us as Railroad Tracks, and has been sold by competitors under the name of Arrowwood. I checked with Fred, and it is indeed Silverwood. We did notify the competitor of this, but as of October 2002 they are still listing it under the name of Arrowwood. If you have this lily, you might want to update your records with the correct name as told to us the breeder himself. This is another short lily, growing to 12 inches tall, and multiplies readily. Fred never registered it as it did not perform well in his zone 2 garden, but it does perfectly fine in our zone 3 garden!
