      Anyone want me to harvest Colorado Lily (I think) Seeds for them?

      So I did some research, if i just let the flowers go back down they will make seed pods over about a months time. I am happy to harvest some of these and ship them to members if they have interest in this specific lily. No cost because I should be able to get them in an envelope to mail. I'm going to do the same for my big lotus once they start coming up.

      Thanks

      I will be interested to read more about your harvesting process as you go along. I'm not sure I have room for another water lily but it's nice of you to offer.

      Ok, I just wanted to make sure someone would want the seeds before I went to work learning the harvesting.

      I found this article quite informative actually, so I'll be following it: https://douggreensgarden.com/water-lily-seeds/

      This one was good too, similar concept: https://homeguides.sfgate.com/propag...eed-73643.html

      Colorado is a great plant but it is sterile.

      Oh no! Well, guess I'll take the cheese cloth off the blooms then. LOL.

      Well, I can still cut the rhizomes then in the fall, right?
