Lilium Seedling - um

I can't help myself. I have to brag about my cute Lilium (species) seedlings.
In some pots just one seedling (so I need to nurture it carefully) and in some 2,3,...
Well. I am not an experienced Lilium grower.
Anyway. Here they are!

SEED-lings

Just imagine planting all these out in the garden.
I wish I could fast-forward a few years but just to have a look and then come back.

First, and most important, Cardiocrinum giganteum. It's started popping up in two pots but with my lousy "record keeping" I can't tell it's from two different batches or from the same. Well, the conditions were the same. Out on the balcony in summer and in the fridge in winter. So, no FREEZING for these.
I also have one or two pots out in the garden, sujbect to most elements (except rain/snow).
Wondering if anything should come up in those.

Next, these cute Lilium regale (from the 10 or so batches I purchased). Germination in the kitchen. The first ones, from the epigeal germination seeds.

Next, huge success with Fritillaria persica seeds - this is the pot kept on the balcony but has not frozen given the warm-ish winter we had.

And I can't forget the NOID huge seedhead Allium  - so crammed I will soon have to come up with an idea.
