Lilium, July 2014

Lilium speciosum var. clivorum

[Tony Willis]

Hi Dick thank you for your comments. i do think it is L. brownii,it does not produce bulbils (sargentiae) and has greenish filaments which is correct.

very lovely L. speciosum,they do not flower here for another two months.

a few july lilies from here

lilium formosanum pricei, lilium papilliferum and lilium bakerianum, recieved as aureum, but I think it is closer to delavayi...

Pontus

Wonderful Speciosum, Dick - seems somewhat similar to L. speciosum var. gloriosoides. Especially because of the strongly waved edges of the petals! I wish I had this in my collection!
Great plants, Pontus!

Not only the flowering lilies deserve some Attention, also the small ones....
Here is my best seedtray for this year: Lilium nobilissimum (about 100 seeldings).

Hi Tony
here are the photos of my L. brownii and L. leucanthum in the previous year.
these two lilium bulbs come from the same place(yichan).

the other lilium

just received this little plant last week
Lilium sargentiae with white edge on leaves

 1. Some lilies flowering earlier this month
 2. Lilies grown from seed donated to the SRGC seedex in 2009 by Ray McNamara in Tasmania (has any other forum member flowered lilies from this donation?)
 3. I think these could be 'African Queen' Strain.  They were grown from seed from Chiltern and should have been Oriental Hybrids.
 4. One bulb took longer to flower and is an Oriental Hybrid

Is Ray McNamara still hybridising lilies?   I can no longer find his website.

Oddly enough, you posted just after Dick C's pictures last year too, Roma, about these lovely McNamara lilies : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10022.msg281003#msg281003


This link from another forum last year suggests that Ray McNamara's site will not return : http://allthingsplants.com/thread/view/19004/sparrasnest-com/

 Perhaps some of the Tasmanians can tell us more?

[Roma]

Thanks, Maggi.  I am very pleased with my lilies and would have liked the chance to try some others.

[Maggi Young]

I am enjoying all the lilies being shown here.
Roma, I'm not surprised you are happy with those huge beauties - they are stunning.

[Tony Willis]

Lilium poilanei , very nicely scented

[winwen]

Tony, it is always a pleasure for me to see your perfectly cultivated lilies on photos that underline their beauty in such a  tasteful way - Chapeau!
I just have one question - since you seem to be dedicated to lilies also....

Are there any visible differences so as to decide between L. duchartrei and L. taliense?
