New Tropical hybrid

[Sean]

Well I am not really sure if I like this new creation of mine.
First day it is lavender and second and third day it is light sky blue.

I might send this one away to another pond to trial and see how big of a bloom and spread it can achieve. I am not super happy with it but it is a step in the right direction for blue hybrids in my breeding program.

Cheers,
Sean

I like the color it's showing on my computer. It looks like a very light purple! I'd be happy to grow it out for you.

Looks good to me, Sean. I have lots of room in my pond this year. Sadly all my trops died this winter. I still had a couple small Sandra Lyns until a month ago but couldn't keep them warm enough and they wilted away.

It is very handsome.  The pads are as well.

Very nice Sean. I wish I also had "at least" the capability and knowledge of how to see a lily is hybrid or not. Building up this formation should need many many years I believe. Frankly speaking, I also have lots of hardies and tropicals here and there but I am not able to find small differences between them or say that "this one is a hybrid".
I am in the beginning of learning about lilies and some times I find my self all, totally mixed up, just as happens when learning a new foreign language after some levels and you start to think, "oh! I can speak some, how nice" but then you feel that all the information you got is a bad coctail in your head:))

Tugo, the idea about it being his hybrid is that he has crossed two plants, formed a seed pod and grew out the seeds. Sometimes it is done naturally with the bees and etc, ending up with beautiful unnamed lilies with reminesence to its parent plants but not being genetically the same. if your seedling becomes something with special characteristics and good proformance, you may consider registering it to be a truely named lily

Thanks Rad. Why plants are called hybrid, yes I do know, but as I mentioned before I am not yet in the level of seeing the small differences to claim any seedling that it is a hybrid. Have to learn and practise much much more.

Nice looking lily Sean, If you want I can try groing it out next Spring in Virginia Zone 7/8.

Hey buddy no problem. i was TOTALLY in your shoes a few years ago, building a web page now with hybridizing articles stemming from "what did i want to know what i started out"

the seedlings are called hybrid by definition, and when you are crossing two plants, you are hybridizing the lilies, thus creating a hybrid of two genetically different parents, (the lilies you choose as a pod parent and a pollen parent) so any seedling you get from crossing the plants or even off a plant whom created a seed pod naturally, any and all offspring are NOT the same plant as the parents, their may be similiar attributes, but on a genetic level they are different, so ya got yourself a hybrid

Well, this year, this method worked very well for me. For most of the not viviparous plants I got more ore less large tubers to store
