Lilium 2013

[pontus]

I have had a nice lijianagense since 2009, still looking ok although not really increasing in size

i grow mine in half shade witth my woodland plants, in a mix of slightly acid and slighty alkaline soil, a few pine needles and orchid mix and perlite to make it very well drained as lijianagense can easilly rot...

it resents above all winter wet, so you can put a cloche or similar over the bulb from november to march, to keep it drier...¨

my bulb was originally small, but 2 years later it was huge, i like this lily very much also, so i try my best to keep it alive!!

I find L. lijianagense grows anywhere l. henryi grows. It is nice that such a nice lily can grow for me in Midwest clay prairie  soil in both raised beds and in at grade beds.

Some of the American Lilies are starting to flower here at the moment.
Lilium rubescens and Lilium kelloggii
Grown outside in a gritty bed. I hope I get some good seed this year, last year was so wet it just rotted

Lilium lijiangense:



I grow them in a tomato cage, since the stems are weak.  Full sun, raised bed of sandy loam soil, a little fertilizer and water in Summer, very, very wet in Winter.  I believe this is their fourth year.  Time to space them out a little, eh?

I think these are very close to L. henryi, except that they bloom much earlier.  The only problem I have had with these is that the bulbs will rot if the soil is too wet and warm in late Summer.  This is true of many lily species.  Mulch to keep the soil cool, grow companion plants to shade the soil and remove moisture, don't irrigate in late Summer.

Gene,

Stunning lilies! Iam very impressed! Lilium parryi is cutty!

Lilium michiganense:



Lilium canadense, a nice red form:



Lilium bakerianum v. delayayi, with three flowers:



Sadly, no pollen partner for the bakerianum this year, so I don't know if it will set seed.

I grew these from seed labelled Lilium sulphureum:





But they bloom much too early, and don't make stem bulbils.  I think they are regale album.  Any opinions?

Gene are the leaves and stem scabrous ?  The scabrous stem and leaves is typical for L regale

[ArnoldT]

Gene:

Looks to be L. regale.

L. sulphereum has a longer trumpet shape when compare to others.  Lack of stem bulbils is also a key factor for ID.

Any scent?
