They make babies by sending out runners from the main root bulb which then forms another root bulb that produces another lily. Hopefully someone will come around that might be able to help you.

I'm pretty sure that seeds will not get you a replicaof the parent. So it's times like this that I'm actually thankful for those creepy crawlies!
