A gorgeous album of photos of your L. martagon hybrids, Elena - wonderful to have such success in growing them and appreciate their beautiful colours in the winter months

Hi ,
Extraordinary photos Elena!!! Beautiful colors!!! I wonder if we can have such marvels in Europe. Has anybody heard of such hybrids on offer in nurseries?
Elena, are you breeding hybrid Martagon lilium ?
Thanks for this stunning photo album

Friends, once again thanks! You are very kind to me!

Oh, Jean, you press my sore point  :) I do not do hybrids. I have a small garden and  is not present a place for high-grade cultivation seedling and selection of perspective variants. When I will be the millionaire,  I can buy a big field and devote the life my favourite martagons! 8) 8) 8)

That 'Orange Marmalade' is especially lovely, Elena. I really like the colour.

Strangely, looking at these martagon hybrids, I can actually smell that distinctive martagon scent. I like it but I know some people don't. Same with the somewhat similar Lilium szovitsianum fragrance - I like the scent but I know other gardeners who can't stand it.

Aroma super!! I catch a smell of all sweets on a planet! My husband catches shades of cucumbers  :) :)

Martin, 'Orange Marmalade'  really good. In a garden it looks as a toy. Very amusing!

This year  the big impression of one more group of lilies. One of Lankongense hybrids has blossomed. Wow! I in delight!
Somebody has these lilies?

P.S. I ask to forgive me. The photo name was displayed not correctly. It has been written on russian. Oops :-\  It is "Peggi".

Lilium nepalense just about to open. Awaiting the night fragrance. It's my favourite of the species.

I have two flowers, just about past now, this year, but dozens of smaller plants and seedlings. My flowering plants are in a pot.

Noses are strange things when it comes to flower scents. Some people smell one thing, and others smell something very different.

Elena, 'Orange Marmalade' looks very unusual, a little like a large-flowered eremurus I think with those outward-facing starry flowers. And I see what you mean - it does also look like a brightly-painted child's wooden toy. The lankongense hyrbid is also very nice. Do you know what the other parent was?

Martin, in "blood" of Peggi is ‘ Maxwill ’ (L. davidii hybrid) and ‘ Enchantment’.

Elena,

Interesting spotting on the 'Peggi'.  Of those last martagons you have shown.... I love the "No Name 2" and the "Backhouse Hybrid" the best.  Interesting colour blends to them.  Thanks for the extra pics.  8)
