The
people on this list have shared their love of the genus
lilium with the world. They have hybridized and registered
beautiful lilies that many of us now enjoy in our own
gardens. The North Star Lily Society is proud to share
their stories. Click on the names below to read their
biographies. This will be an ongoing project. Even
now there are new lily varieties being created in gardens
here in Minnesota. We anticipate adding more names
in the future.
We
would like to thank NSLS member Barbara Sautner for
initiating this project with her research and sharing
her written articles. Thanks also to Hugh and
Ruth Cocker and Marsha Hartle for adding their personal
remembrances of people very important to lily culture
in Minnesota.
