University of Sasaktchewan Lily Update

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

We have been waiting to see if we would have any University of Saskatchewan lilies for sale this year. Unfortunately, the answer is that we will not have any for sale this year. The demand has been too high and we have been unable to keep up.
We propagate by growing the bulbs and letting them multiply naturally. We have been judicially selling the University of Saskatchewan bulbs as they mature but the demand has outstripped our initial supply.
Our company and DNA Gardens were the only two companies selected to sell the University of Saskatchewan lilies. DNA Gardens has recently been sold to Prairie Tech Propagations – www.prairietechpropagation.com. We have been informed by Prairie Tech Propagation that they are propagating University of Saskatchewan lilies through tissue culture but do not have any bulbs available for sale at this time. We will continue to try to increase the supply. Please keep checking back for more information!

2009 Lily List

Monday, August 31, 2009

Click here to download our 2009 Lily List!

We have added a number of new lilies to the list this year. As we are sure you know this past year has had its growing challenges, spring drought and cold, then lots of rain and still cold, even as we write this we still have some varietities that are just budding. Therefore, we have a shorter list this year than usual! Hopefully next year is better!
Also, check out the lilies link above for new lily pictures. We continue to update that section through the summer and fall.
