I think you are right, arisaema!
Are the seed capsules full? I would give my left arm for seeds of this species!

They are indeed full, I'm hoping they'll pay for the trip and keep me well fed for a couple of months...

This could really be the case!
Could you send me a private message?
I am interested!

"Ah well, back to Lilium regale masquerading as L. brownii, under the wrong label as L. martagon! Here are three pics of the plants I've grown from Exchange seed as L. brownii. They certainly bear a strong similarity to my L. regale but I'm no Lilium expert."

Remember this from Reply 102 on July 15th last? Well I have a goodly quantity of Lilium regale seed (I take it that it's lightish brown and papery) available if anyone would like a share.

I'm putting up some pictures from my trip to Yunnan on Facebook, I'll make a thread here too once I reach home: https://www.facebook.com/trilliumno

Today I noticed that two Lilium lankogense bought in the autumn  had  pushed  their noses through (and someone had had a nibble!). Should I cover them up?

I've never been able to grow Lilium candidum so it was a bit galling to see a wonderful clump flowering at work in what is basically an abandoned garden! The first flower opened last week and they look like they'll be finished soon....hmmm, I wonder if they set viable seed?
cheers

I spent a few minutes in my break dabbing pollen so we'll know in a few weeks
In the home garden we've had flowers on a few more liliums

unnamed white LA hybrid
pink LA hybrid-? Brindisi

Not in our garden, but in our friend Cathy's, which is in a cooler area (climatically  ) so she can grow things we can't - like this lovely species lily which she had labelled as Lilium grayii but someone has suggested that it's L. canadense,
cheers

It certainly looks more like canadense but it would take a picture of the whole plant to be sure.
