Lilium, June 2014

[arisaema]

is it Lilium henrici? very elegant! I thought the flowers opened wider though

It is, and I was surprised too, although it was pouring down when the pictures were taken so they may open more in sunny weather. Also surprised they were all pure white, I didn't find any pink flowered plants, but will keep looking next year.

A bonny wee thing!
Hopefully it will take to cultivation (and my garden!).

I recently saw a photograph of a new dwarf golden-yellow campanulate single flowered Tibetan lily -I wonder whether it will ever become available?

They grew in soaking wet peat bogs, so pick a moist spot! I heard about the yellow lily from Tibet, but I haven't seen the picture, would you by any chance have a digital copy? I assume it's not L. euxanthum?

Here is a link to the yellow Tibetan Lilly: http://www.canursery.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67&products_id=505

Is this euxanthum?

Oh, that's L. medogense. Yijia is growing it in Beijing, but it hasn't set seeds for him yet. Only Chinese are allowed to visit Medog, unfortunately.

Some Sino-Himalayan lilies recently in flower here:


Lilium bakerianum var. delavayi





Lilium nepalense



Lilium nanum



Lilium xanthellum var. luteum

Hello Steve you Liliums are superb really like  L. bakerianum  cheers Ian the Christie kind

[arisaema]

I can only agree with Ian, superb pictures. However, that L. xanthellum v. luteum must be misidentified, it's an asiatic hybrid - nothing like the species: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200027752

I think your right Bjørnar. This clump is just too vigorous and vulgar to be a wild Lilium species. It was initially purchased from Crûg Farm Plants in Wales. They grow a lot of wild lilies from seed and so I assumed that the identification must be right but I agree the plant they sell as xanthellum v. luteum looks nothing like the images of the wild species. Here is a link to xanthellum var. luteum in the Crûg Farm Plants nursery catalogue: http://mailorder.crug-farm.co.uk/?pid=10679

Guess what... 

...don't know if it is L. henricii (although I guess it is rather not  ), but it is definitely the same lily that is currently being sold by Chen Yi under the name "L-123 L. sp. nov." (photo attached).
I guess it is something new.  L. henricii not only has a different coloration but also much thinner leaves and -as stated above- the flowers are flat faced to bowl-shaped (not Campanula-like).
Bjornar, are the seeds that you sold on your Website under the name "L. henricii" from these plants?
