I spend a good part of my time working with the Genus Lilium, the true Lilies. I breed Lilies especially for your garden which are easy to grow and care for ,as well as living for many, many years. You can view my Lilies, and purchase Lilium Seed from my dedicated Lilium website, ´Sparra´s Nest´. There is also a large resource of Lilium related information, including on their culture available on the website as well. To relax at evenings and at times when the weather is inclement, I enjoy building Lego Technics Models and design Programing Lego Mindstorms Models. The Mindstorms Brick is programable via any PC or Mac. There's two flavours, the earlier RCX Brick and the Current very powerful NXT. Visit my website for more detail. I am also interested in Natural History, Botany, Evolution, Cosmology, Physics, Electronics Photography too name just a few.Videos (43)
