Author Message   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 - 09:47 pm EST :    I had put tags on my Pink Lily of the Valley flower stems to see if they make seed. They do make seed. I thought I had read that the pink form were sterile.

At least the striped leaved one is a little less vigorous.

I did cross the pink to the giant white flower form(both way crosses). Might be interesting if my dabbing of pollen produces a giant pink form. Planted all the seeds in my Pulpit bed. I will worry about thinning them in a few years. I have no idea how long these take to flower from seed.

Keep us posted on how they turn out.
