Re: help with tiger lilly identification
Hi Steve.
If this Hemerocallis falva is your "Tiger Lily", I'm sure Chris can
help with your questions.

Hello all,
I am wondering about Tiger Lillies.I am new to working with lillies
and would appreciate any help.
Now I have what seems to be a very prolific orange tiger lilly.
For years I though that the plants were sterile and certainly won't
self fertilize.
I guess they have an inhibitor that prevents self fertilization
similar to irises.
at any rate, I ran down to my neighbors garden and grabbed some pollen
from a yellow lilly that had similar features to my tiger lillies.
the smae shaped flowers and long grass-like leaves or foliage.
I am just trying to straighten out a couple of things.
I read recently that these orange tiger lillies are pod sterile. If
that's the case, then mother nature goofed with five nicely developing
pods on my tiger lillies.
I am guessing that I have incorrectly identified the variety I have
in my yard.
Hemerocallis fulva
I am positive this is the "tiger lilly" (which isn't a true lilly)
growing in my yard.
if this is the case, what yellow variety did I acquire pollen from. Or
can the Lillium sp. and Hemerocallis sp. succesfully cross?
thanks so much for any help.
