Göte,
the first Lilium is so 40-50 cm tall.

Some real beauties on that last page. I like the "white" cernuum and the lovely pink at the top of Hans/ posting.

Arisaema, my lophophorum all flower a rather greenish yelow but take on a pinkish tinge as the flowers age.

Göte,
the first Lilium is so 40-50 cm tall.

Ok then it is most probably bakerianum.
You are right most of these want acid soil. Lilies of the world give the following list of lilies that like limestone soil:
Amabile,Candidum, carniolicum, calchedonicum,concolor, henryii, martagon, monadelphum, pomponicum, testaceum.
The following may tolerate limestone soil
Brownii, bulbiferum, croceum, callosum, cernuum, davidii, hansonii, centifolium, longiflorum, marhan, pardalinum, parryi, pyrenaicum, regale, Szovitzianum.
The list reflects the state of knowledge ca. 1950. Some of the lilies we now grow like bakerianum and amoenum were unknown in garden situations at this time.
Your pardalinum is certainly not typical I enclose a picture of my clone which better follows descriptions and pictures in litterature.
I find it much less easy than its relative superbum which seds itself all over and flowers profusely at nearly 2 m height.

Göte,

That superbum is amazing!!!  2 m in height?  I can grow pardalinum (hybrids?) here fairly easily it appears (in pots at least) so it sounds like I should definitely try superbum as well?

Wunderful Lilies from everybody :o 8)

L.martagon now in flower.
I'm a bit afraid flowers will wilt quickly due 30°C today and forecast up to 34°C for next week.

That is lovely Armin. Don't they hold themselves so beautifully, nicely spaced and elegant, no banging into each other? :)

I don't really want it to be 34C here, but something above the present 3C would be appreciated. ??? Not quite snowing, but really nasty cold and sleety.

Dear friends, your lilies are delightful! My martagons expose the flowers also. It is the happiest time for me! :)

Elena,

Breathtaking range of colours.  I have got to grow some martagons from seed one of these years..... such wonderful colours and they would then be acclimated here to my conditions.  Aren't the "turks cap" types just so beautiful?

"more martagons?" How wonderful!!   8) :-*
I find this one of the most elegant of lilies and the colour range is so pleasing.

Dear Maggi, thanks! I the absolute "slave" to these lilies!  :) And I am glad to divide the love with good people!
Martagons are fine at all stages of growing:
