Why Are Asiatic Pollen-Free Lilies Significant?

The answer to this question is that allergies are often aggravated by pollen. Therefore any reduction in pollen in a flower should help allergin sufferers. Turner's Patch has selectively bred several pollen-free and reduced pollen-free asiatic lilies with the added benefit of being shorter in height---some are dwarf, -- which makes them excellent pot plants or border plants.

The results of the breeding are posted in this blog.  One of the seedlings that Turner's Patch has bred and grown, is now registered with the Royal Horticultural Society.  It is named "Dr. Thomas Massie".  This fine lily is being grown at a home that is still in the Massie Family.  The house was built by Dr. Thomas Massie for his son.  The home is located in Massie's Mill, Va and is called 'Pharsalia'.  The lily at this time is not available for distribution.
