I picked up a couple of bulbs of Lily 'Lankon' in a local garden centre because it looked interesting. Reading up on it, this hybrid was launched at Chelsea in 2011, bred from the Japanese species L. longiflorum and the Chinese species L. lankongense.

The longiflorum x lankongense cross was made possible through embryo rescue - the seed embryo is removed from the seed capsule and then grown on in agar solution as the seed does not contain enough endosperm to feed the emerging embryo to the cotyledon stage. Well, whatever they did - it works! It's tall and strong growing in a pot. Don't know how it'll fare out in the garden.

Lilium leichtlinii an easy grower for us. Doesn't mind the heat.

Lilium michiganense.

The original seed came from John in Nova Scotia and has now built up ito a small group. It is a very elegant plant

L. michiganense is one of my favorites.

Ours are from wild seed here in the U.S.A. and are more orange in color. For us, they seem to do well when they get into the ground - they don't like being in containers around here. I missed a photograph this season as they bloomed when my ankle was still healing. There is always next year.

Beautiful lilies! Thanks for sharing them.

Lillium Martagon the first of my species lilies to flower, this lily is growing through a bleeding heart plant in a shady corner which suits both plants.

Lilium martagon

I started off with the white one and the dark cattaniae.  They have seeded all over the place in all shades of red and pink.

Wow - Congratulations to these fine plants. They show how they like these
perfect conditions. When did you plant the first 2 bulbs?
The attached Lilies flowered for me until to the beginning of the last week.

Thanks, Rudi.
I think it was at least 20 years ago I had two pots of seedlings but I do not remember how many bulbs I planted.
