Lilium 2009

[johnw]

Hello,

Here are some pictures from the Lilium formosanum I grow, but not sure... look at the leaves.

Lilium anhuiense??

Rafa  - Sorry I missed this.  Your lily is simply spectacular and L. annhuiense is new to me!

Some years ago I filled in the wrong number in a seed list and got seed called Lilium longiflorum by mistake. I do not hink longiflorum is hardy here but i put it in the ground it germinated and a couple survived the last three or four winters - including the -23°C this year.
I do not think that it is longiflorum - possibly formosanum and that should not survive either!
It is some 75cm high and has two flowers. Does anyone recognize it?

I missed the most of my Liliums this year but here i one off my late ones.
Lilium speciosum Lady Alice.

I didn't realize Lilium speciosum could be other than pink/red/white.

Hello Anne Karin,  lovely picture of Lady Alice and very well grown too. However it is not a speciosum but a henryi hybrid and classified as a division 6.If you wish to breed from it, and it is being used extensively now, you may put pollen from henryi, or any fertile aurelians or trumpets onto it.Good luck!

Thank you fore your information Paul. I do not understand how the speciosum name has crept into the name.

[vanozzi]

You're welcome Anne.

I was going to post my lankongense into the arty f..ty section, but thought it may be more welcomed here.There was no attempt at anything creative, but I love the outcome.
I have 6 seedlings from a cross of duchartrei x lankongense that may flower this year and hope to backcross eachway.I have 3 bulbs only of one clone of duchartrei received from Otto F., this year, so can't produce any pure duchartrei species yet.

Paul,

what a wonderful shot!  Mind you, one wouldn't want to wake in the night and find that hanging over your head.

That is a wonderful pitcure of a wonderful Lilium.

[gote]

A very good shot Paul,
We should all use this angle now and then It shows the inner part of the tepals with the nectary furrow and the interesting black colouring that some Lilium exhibit there. This is the first time I see it in a lankongense.
Cheers

One of the last Lilium. Does anybody know the name? Lilium gloriosoides?

It seems so Hans. I hope you get seeds. Most of us have lost it in the winter due to fungal attack. Good Luck.

That's a real stunner Hans. I hope it survives and thrives for you.

Hans--your Lilium gloriosoides is just magnificent.It's the Holy Grail !! I have 10 seeds in a baggie that A friend shared with me --but no sign of germination after 3 months of warm treatment  . I hope you manage to get seed set and also freeze the rest of your pollen for other hybridizing.I'm not sure if gloriosoides is self fertile or not? Good luck !!

I am talking without knowledge about it whatsoever but since the "true glorisoides" is fairly frost hardy - yes even here in Sweden - it might need a few months at low temperatures after the warm time. If it has not rotted there is still hope.
