Yesterday I had the pleasure of going out to the Highway 243 well property to disperse the lemon lily seeds from the pods that were open and full of seeds. I don't know if we will get any new lilies next year or not, but I made a good try at putting the seeds in spots where they would have a good chance to germinate. Apparently lemon lilies don't have a high germination rate, but we will see what happens. Perhaps Mother Nature will smile upon us and a few seeds will actually develop into lilies.
I was amazed at how many seeds are in each pod. They were also a beautiful honey yellow color and were stacked very neatly inside the pods. They just poured right out of the pod. Very cool. So we will see how it all works out. Keep your fingers crossed.

Lemon Lily Festival
It is hard to believe, but it has been a year since the very first Lemon Lily Festival and we are about to enjoy the second one, which is this coming weekend. We are lucky enough to have some lemon lily's on the Black wells property along the highway. You can see them as you drive by. They seem to have started to slowly multiply in recent years. This is very exciting and we hope that they will continue to thrive and multiply.
