Purple tropical volanteer

[turtlemike]

  Well I got lucky and despite all odds my giant Purple tropical volanteer made 2 nice longish tubers ! !

  I'm realy glad because I realy like this plant and I want to keep it around without having to overwinter it.
The color is really great and with 47-50 petals and lots of petaloid stamens it's an eye catcher.

 No pollen so I can't cross it with my hardies but definitly worth keeping around.

  Thanks everyone. I will be makeing as many of them next year as I can. Maybe I can do some trading with some.
I never really planed on geting into tropicals but I will probably come up with some good ones because Ken Landon is sending me tens of thousands of tropical seeds from all kinds of lilies and crosses to select from for H X T crosses.
There is bound to be some great stuf in that although I will have to give Ken all of the credit, and some bees of course !

  The big Albert plant didn't make any tubers Vickie but I have two tubers from some smaller plants.

We cannot wait to see what new lilies you come up with Mike. Good on you Albert de Lastang. I have grown it for years.
