Chen Yi is a cheaky business woman and no doubt she does use bad, blurred or poor pictures on purpose to entice us to buy from her. The "yellow" Arisaema candidissimum for instance has always turned out to be white but does become yellow when it fades. But out of focus it is not easy to spot the fact that the flower is wilting.
Ah well, the latest news from the US I heard is that she has doubled or tripled her prices so her business will go down fast if she holds on to these new prices.

I was beginning to think the pink form was a figment of her imagination, but it does exist!

It is yellow, it only turned pink as the flowers faded. Probably weather dependent, we've had unusually warm, dry and sunny weather lately.

Pascal;

Apparently most of what she ships to the US is destroyed by the customs/APHIS, so I can understand why she raised them...

Does anyone have a picture of a pink Lilium lophophorum (other than this one)? My own plant looks like it's finally going to flower, and I'm curious as to what I should expect.

This link does not work for me, it complains that it cannot find the jpg file.

Has anyone got a link for Chen Yi ?  Nothing on Google links back to a web page, or does she have a web page at all.?

I think it was hosted for her in Norway or something and the pictures of later additions to her list are not on this page. But to be honest, most pictures are not usefull anyway because most items she sends after ordering are not conform the picture. It is a lottery what you get. Could be pleasant surprises, could be stuff you already have, could be weed, could indeed be what your ordered or, in my case last year, could be a virus infected plant (expecting something else, getting a virus-infected Arisaema yunnanense). And if the prices have been raised to the levels of Western nurseries it will become a costly lottery.

It didn't occur to me at the original posting about pink lophophorum but mine does go a little bit pink as it ages. Not so pink as any of those in the links though. Nothing LIKE so pink. McMark will be OK though, with his rose-coloured specatacles. ;D

That's right Lesley, even the snopdrops are looking decidedly pink to me. ;D
