| I just bought a buff pixie in a pot - dirt cheap and cute as can be. I keep thinking that it looks like a tiger lily in some ways. Are the pixies crossed with the tiger lilies? I'm always thinking about viruses in the back of my mind now.

| Use this link to research your lily ancestry. I keep this link in my Bookmarks as I refer to it often. Right off hand, I don't see tigrinum/lancifolium listed. You have to dig deeper than the Buff Pixie entry. Some of the species involved include davidii, cernuum, dauricum and others. A complex ancestry indeed. |

| Don't be afraid of lilies which are produced by crosses from Oregon bulb farm. They were in most cases purposely hybridized for maximum disease resistance, such as connecticut lemonglow. |
