About our Company

---

1977 was the first year we began crossbreeding lilies.
That year, it was exclusively Asiatic lilies.
In 1978, Oriental lilies were added.

1990 was a year of many changes for us.
That year, we moved with our entire family to Oregon, USA.

That also marked the start of importing various types of bulbs, tubers, and perennials to America, which we sold to various companies such as greenhouses, trade centers, and mail-order companies.

Besides breeding all types of lilies and propagating them, we also cultivate various types of perennials.

In 2005, we decided to move away from trading and commercial cultivation and continue doing what we have always loved: breeding lilies, especially Oriental lilies for cut flowers, those for potted plants, and lilies for the garden.
This decision allowed us to fully focus on the excellent qualities of these lilies for cut flowers, pots, and gardens.

This didn’t stop at having a good stem, sufficient buds per size, or easy to force.

We were able to introduce more colors and color combinations into Oriental lilies, colors that experts had previously stated were impossible in this type of lily.
We are the only breeding company in the world to have developed a completely yellow flower in Oriental lilies, as well as in several variations.
Orange is another achievement, and so is green.
Now our question is: “Is blue also possible?”

We also developed lilies with a very elegant flower stem, whose flowers have a soft and sweet fragrance.
Crossbreeding with different Lilium speciosum species made this possible.

Many of our Oriental seedlings are resistant to many forms of viruses. Although we don’t spray mineral oil or grow our lilies in aphid-resistant greenhouses, many of our Oriental lilies, including older seedlings, demonstrate that they are still virus-free.

With all the recent court rulings regarding the permitting of spraying lilies, this resistance could well be of great significance for the future.

In 2022, we celebrated our 45 years of lily breeding.
Hopefully, we can add many more years!

In 2027, just a couple of years from now, we hope to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our hybridizing venture. That really is something to celebrate.

Seedlings & Selections

---

Our seedlings and selections are among the strongest in the world, and there is a reason for that: they are able to survive the Oregon environment.

In Oregon, we have a varied climate. Winter and spring are usually wet.
Summer and fall are typically warm and dry, with several stretches of hot weather and a lot of wind.
Our lily seedlings also have to survive all types of pests, like aphids, because we don’t spray mineral oil.

After one or two years in the seed tunnel, two or three years in the field, and when selected, one or more years in our greenhouse, most of our selections are still free of any viruses.
