Hello Peppa,
how long did your fargesii take to flower from seed.
Thanks John.

A couple of wrongly named/unamed lilies fowering now

two pictures of the first a Lilium bakerianum ssp delavayi which I bought as L. amoenum

second is L42 sp(16) red from Chen yi bought some time ago and flowering for the first time. Ideas on a species name would be helpful. It is40cms tall and has numerous  grass like leaves up the stem.

Hi Tony,
 It looks like lilium papilliferum a late lily which produces short stolons about 4-6 inches long, so if you let it free you should eventually have a few young ones.

Susan

thank you for that. My only problem is it does not have a single hair but otherwise it seems to fit and  looking at pictures on the web it is definitely that.

Fabulous sulphureum hybrid Gene!

let me know if you ever have a spare bulb and may want to do a swap?

Here my beloved lilium 'connecticut yankee' (bred in 1959 in the USA by the firm Stone and Payne) is flowering well. It is part of my conservation project of old asiatic hybrids...next to it is lilium connecticut king (1967) in full bloom as well

Thanks Johnw and Lesley for your nice comments! It was very interesting to see the little green buds open into little green flowers without changing color...

Hello Peppa,
how long did your fargesii take to flower from seed.
Thanks John.

John, it took four years from seed. I am very excited to see the flower because the original plant died after I collected these seeds. Luckily I now have several small seedlings instead of just the one.

Hello Peppa thanks,
I recieved some Lilium Fargesii seed from the R H S seed exchange last year, I hope mine flower as nice as yours.

I've ben meaning to post pictures of my Martagon lilies for a while but couldnt make up my mind which ones to use.  They have gone over very quickly with the hot dry weather.

When is the best time to dig them up?  I have far too many in places where I don't want them.
