Alberta-registered hybrids can be preserved, nurtured and viewed. The Dorthie Harvie Botanic Gardens at the Calgary Zoo has its first Alberta hybridizer collection with Fred Tarlton Martagons; Olds College has the Fred Fellner and Alberta Asiatic lily beds. The University of Alberta’s Devonian Botanic gardens has Asiatic beds and a marta- gon bed housing many Alberta hybridized lilies. Many of Fred Tarlton’ s martagons found a home there when he moved out of his house. ARLS helped get many of Fred Fellner’ s registered hybrids into a heritage bed back on his farm where he could use his early introductions for hybrid- izing and visitor viewing. The NALS international lily shows in 2007 in Edmonton
and 2016 in Calgary, celebrated Alberta hybridizers, and Terry Willoughby spoke at both events on the influence and work of the many hybridizers he has interacted with. Willoughby began hybridizing in early adulthood, and is one of the remaining founders of ARLS still passionately active in finding the perfect hybrid cross. To quote Terry from the conclusion of his many presentations: “The best is yet to come.” x
