If I am not mis taken I think you can use any type of seed for plantation. Just use alot of mulch. Good-Luck !

The seeds will grow into plants, but it may take several years for them to flower. When they finally do, they could be a different colour to the ones you got the seed from, since they are the result of sexual reproduction, and so not genetically identical to the parent plant. The best way to propagate lilies is to grow on the small bulblets which grow on the main bulb each year. These are genetically identical and so will be the same colour as you planted. The same is true for daffodils and tulips.

Yes, those are definitely seeds. Lillies and Irises grow their seeds in pods that split open when they are mature and ready to plant. I would suggest taking the seeds (if you live north of Tennessee) and put them in the refrigerator for at least one month. Then, when you plant them, they will be ready to grow other GREAT lillies...and they will spread as the years rolll by. If you live in a warm climate, you can plant them in nutrient rich soil ASAP and transplant when they are about 6" tall. Good luck!

In the past I have left the seeds on the top of the soil when the dropped off and they did grow.

I suggest searching the net for Oriental lily and Daylily so you can see which you have. There should be enough information for you to figure out the answer to your question. And the answer depends on the type of lily you have. However, bulb propagation is the most reliable.

Everything grows from a seed of some sort.

I definitely would go for it.
