Lilium 2013

[Lesley Cox]

I can't see anything more recent than Lilium 2012 so here we go with this year's batch.

Could anyone please give me some idea of what this lily may be? I expect it is a hybrid of some kind but I have no recollection of its origins and certainly didn't buy it, but probably grew it from seed. The label just says Lilium ?

The second bud, to the lower right looks as if it may be paler, closer to white but maybe with yellow tips. No, I just had another look and it's pretty much the same now it's beginning to open. There's no perfume at all.

No Idea Lesley
looks as a hybrid
you have a lot of dormant bulbs in the moment
is it because of the high temperatures ??

It's because it's high summer Roland. One month past the solstice and day time temps where I live of around 18C or as high as 32C. We've had a lot of rain this summer too.

I calculated wrong
Logic  most are dormant

[Lesley Cox]

Very true. Some lilies, arisaemas, the tall hybrid gladiolus, galtonias, zantededchias and like things are in bloom. Eucomis just starting for me. No sign of autumn crocuses or Cyclamen hederifolium yet, though some Narcissus species seeds are germinating. Spring seems a long way off.

It seems to be in the group 'Trumpet'.
and I think it is close to Lilium "African Queen"

My lilium rubellum have opened in these few day

[vanozzi]

Hi Dick,welcome,nice first post to the forum --that is a very beautiful L. japonicum and rubellum you posted.
 
Is that by any chance a white rubellum just opening?I haven't seen white rubellum, but know it exists.If so, do you have any seed to spare and while I'm so bold, do you by any chance have any Lilium speciosum gloriosoides seed? I may have lilium seed that you need?

Tell us please what other plants you grow, especially lilium.

This is one of my japonicum flowing this past year, under an apple tree.

Hi Paul
what a nice L. japonicum and it looks very big.
I know that there are some white rubellum in Japan but I haven't kept anyone of them.
The "white rubellum" in my picture was soft pink in fact, it just turn to white by flowered for few days already.
I can see my Lilium speciosum var. gloriosoides (Taiwanese form) have already grow some buds.
And they are going to flower in the coming few months.
the first photo is my Lilium speciosum var. gloriosoides's buds.
and the second photo is the "white rubellum" which is taken in the first flowering day. It is soft pink.

My best stem of L. mackliniae so far.  Six flowers:



Everything here is very early because of several weeks of hot, sunny, dry weather in early May.
