That's an amazing lily   :o don't know it's name. Is it a species, perhaps a form of primulinum

yes what a superb sp!

the "tube" is too short for it to be lilium majoense...

it is also to dark to be primulinum burmanicum...and does not have the pink of primulinum rock's variety, so the closest I can get would be Lilium primulinum Hooker's variety. What colour is your bulb? where in China did you get it from, and what do the leaves look like?

Thank you for the hint. This Lily I  got  error, instead of Lilium bakerianum. What leaves and bulb  I'll only know in the spring, now too late to dig. I did just that one image.

Yes, I have already 1 bulb Lilium bakerianum of yellow flowers. I am looking for other colors.

I agree with others, it is likely a form of Lilium primulinum (possibly closer to var. ochraceum), but the colour is certainly different. There are many new forms of these lilies emerging lately. The more of those I see, the more I realise how little we all know about this group, especially in the west. They are very beautiful lilies and I hope we continue to see many more such introductions.
The important thing here is to find someone with similar forms and exchange bulbs/pollen with a view to setting seed of this form/species. There are already too many "sterile" forms out there because we rely on vegetative propagation techniques.
