Lily Links

Welcome to the NSLS Lilium Links web page. As an affiliate, we have set up a link to the North American Lily Society. We have also listed several sister regional lily societies with very good information to share. There are also international web sites that we have found very interesting. The listing of a firm's name will not constitute an endorsement, recommendation or warranty of their products or services. The web sites below are only listed as an educational resource for our readers.

If you have come across an interesting horticultural website dedicated all or in part to the genus lilium, with educational information that our readers would appreciate, please send us the link through our Contact Us page and we will explore adding it to our list.
