Lilium 2011

[Hans J]

Before many years I have received seeds of Lilium pyrenaicum ( yellow and red form ) from a nice friend in England .
The pot with the red form is died after some time ...but the yellow form grows well - so I decide to plant it in the garden ....it seems the location is well for this plant and last year have flowered the first plants ( yellow )
Now in this year I have realized that on this clump of plants is also one with a red flower ...I was really happy  
Here are some pics :

Enjoy

Great job Hans !!

I love that L. oxypetalum insigne Roma and David !!  A little beauty it is !

A bit more robust is my Lilium x martagon "Early Bird".
One flowering stem last year, 3 this year !!!

Lovely little plant! Do you (or Giles) have any collection data for it? It's the form with Lilium-like filaments.

[Tony Willis]

I am sorry but I have no information but perhaps Giles may post.

Hi all, thanks for the super pictures very interesting I am posting a few pictures first are some forms of Nomocharis then an odd flower of Lilium oxypetalum Insigne, we have flowered pure white ones before but this is a half way very odd, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Hi again, hope you have not had the fierce gales like we have had 75 miles an hour not a single meconopsis head has survived out in the garden thankfully I saved the big net tunnel where most of the Meconopsis are most are flowering but a bit raggedy. I am posting the first picture of Lilium oxypetalum we have three flower spikes this year and they have been in the garden for around 7 years hope for seed, I am conviced that this is a separate species, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Ian;

It's not the yellow form of Nomocharis aperta, then? See pic below. Re: the blotched L. oxypetalum insigne, I'd be a little worried about virus, the irregular colour is quite typical.

Lilium sempervivoideum from China

Hi, I do not have the yellow Nomocharis aperta would like to have it as for the Lilum Oxypetalum insigne if we have a virus then the bulbs and flower look normal in the past we have flowered a pure white form and thought this is a half way hybrid maybe I should bin it??.  thanks, Ian the Christie kind.
