I have a lily that was grown from seed by a horticulturist friend and have always wondered why it looks so puny. Now I know why, thanks to your post! It's only 2 years old! Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
Three Years and a lot of patience. Way to grow Dirty Fingernails!

Your sedum is so pretty. And I love that you're doing these lilies from seed - totally cool! I seem to run out of patience too quickly. :(
How interesting!! I must try it.
