J4F : Chapter Conclusion

Lilies are magnificent flowers. They come in all sorts of shapes and colours, and they also produce a gentle fragrance. Many horticulturists and gardeners fall under their spell.

There is a wide variety of lilies in nature, but many cannot withstand the Canadian climate. Winters are cold, and snowfall can be heavy. Once in the ground, the bulb is fragile and vulnerable to the cold. Without this food reserve, the lily may not grow.

So, I set out to create lily hybrids that could survive these conditions. Thanks to my experiments, I’ve helped gardening enthusiasts fill their flowerbeds with these blooms. I’m very proud of that!
