Unknown lily

Some years ago I got seeds of Lilium bulbiferum var. croceum. This year the came a stalk with flowers and I am sure that it is not bulbiferum var. croceum. Flower and leaves resembles L. martagon, but I have never seen L. martagon with this color and so spotted. Is it a variety of martagon? or perhaps a cross of something unknown? I hope there are some who can help me with the name of this lily, as I think it's incredible pretty.

I can't figure out what to do with that poll. (edit by Maggi: neither can I: it's gone!)
However, maybe it's Lilium langkongense.

Showing a photo of the foliage would be helpful, and would, I think, readily distinguish a martagon from
L. lankongense

Whatever, it is wonderfully measled though.

I have lily Lilium lankongense in the garden and I am sure the lily on the picture is not lankongense. I send two other pictures e.g. of the leaves.

It looks like some kind of martagon to me Kalle.
Nowadays there are many hybrids around snd since it was misnamed it is probably the offspring of a martagon of mixed parentage.
It is yours, iti s new so you can name it after a sweetheart.
