Lilium 2011

[yijiawang]

Yija that is a lovely flower. Here is the first flower on my

Lilium poilanei? from N. Vietnam very much like the one shown by Pascal. it will be interesting to see if the second bulb is similar

Hello Tony,
  So beautiful poilanei, this species petal and leaves are thick, maybe long flower term? The purple spotted are variable, even some flower without spotted, pure green.

Hi Yija it is very similar to one of the ones you have shown on the 'genus lilium 'website which is pleasing.

When I received the two bulbs I took of scales and have raised a couple of bulbils from each of  them to increase my numbers but I will cross pollinate them when the second flowers and raise some from seed to get some variation. It is so much more elegant than L. nepalense and as you say it has very nice leaves as well as the flowers.

Hello Tony, yes your lily from same source with those pictures.
PS: I found one small lily in same situ(with th yellow one), could you please identify it?

Also an interesting link to alilly group? with a seed exchange?

Of course, please link me to the group, thanks!

For the first time I got flower in L. speciosum var. clivorum. I have looked for description of that variety but can not fine it. I have looked in my books and on the Internet. On the Internet I can fine several pictures but no description tell what do clivorum to a variety.

It seems to be a standard Lilium speciosum and very lovely too. The clivorum  addition looks as though it is another of the quite pointless names added as a var. in 1881.  (Lilium speciosum var. clivorum S. Abe & Tamura, 1981) This seems to happen to many plants in all families.

Here is my second plant of Lilium poilanei in flower now

Very nice species Tony

My goodness, my pleasure at seeing these lily pictures shows just how much I missed a day of Forum photos! Such photogenic flowers, so elegant.

3 of 8 stems of my Lilium poilanei start flowering. all 8 stems produce buds. there is one poilanei flower with nearly no markins inside the flower. if you compare this flower with Lilium primulinum var. burmanicum on the-genus-lilium.com-website it shows that L. poilanei is a very close related species to primulinum to my mind.

New for me, this Lilium poilanei is really amazing

Lilium auratum growing up through a rhododendron. it has survived several cold winters there. it is not as pristine as growing it inside.
