Starfighter Lily
good environment for liliesAccording to Bill , lilies thrive at sea story , especially where the weather stays cool and the light levels are uniform . But why are these three factors of import ? “ As an example , our farm in Northern California is right on the coast , where the sea helps order the temperature . Our average high temperature for the year is 61 degrees Fahrenheit , and our average low-spirited temperature is 51 degree Fahrenheit . This consistent environment keeps the lilies growing tardily and uniformly . Spikes in temperature or light level are detrimental to the quality of the flower . ”
And growing at low elevation also leads to thicker blooms , he continues . “ Have you ever assure a lily with thin , transparent petals ? That ’s why we farm at low peak , this head to thicker petals that have a lot more girth and strength , conduce to not only bigger blooms but richer , saturated coloration . consumer want lilies that are big and sheer , not just a filler prime . ”
VaselifeAnd what about vase life sentence ? “ Again , grow lily slowly in cool temps , with even light levels , create stocky shank , greener leaf , and a healthier flora , this leads directly to higher-ranking vase life , which in turn lead to a good client experience . ”
GeneticsWhat role does genetics run in this equation ? According to Bill , genetic science are vast , but not all lilies are created adequate . “ Our CEO Lane DeVries , who is a fourth - generation flower farmer born in Holland , is in constant communicating with our growing collaborator in Holland , so we have a very effective prospect of what mixture are standouts . ” And Experience also playact a role , he points out . “ As various lily ’ genetic science lose specialty , they are often cross - spawn with new varieties to hold the classic ancestry of a particular lily . ”

Hot lily for summerWhen asking about a red-hot lily for summer , Bill can scarcely choose , but it being summer , he says that a staring lily-white lily such as Ice Dreamer is perfect for wedding season , but he is also super excited about African Lady . “ This is a arresting Oriental Trumpet Hybrid atomic number 83 - colour , this lily is amazing ! ”
