Lilium 2011

[Paul T]

Zhirair,

Wow, the lilium szovitsianum is spectacular.    I've seen the name before, but I didn't have a mental image of the species at all until now.  That is a gorgeous clump!!!!! 

Thanks so much for showing us.

Thank you Fermi and Göte!

Boyed might be rigt - it might be the form of bulbiferum that does not carry bulbils. (v. croceum) However that one is more yellowish in the orange and has slightly more narrow bases to the tepals. The difference is sligt and the colour difference could be caused by your camera, your software or my screen.
Lilium dauricum is a usually taller more eastern species so unlike bulbiferum it is unlikely to grow wild in Boyed's area.

Göte,

This lily doen't grow wild in my area. It is grown in many gardens, where it survived from old times.

[gote]

I misunderstood. If dauricum really has found its way into the gardens of your area it would be an interesting fact since the variants of bulbiferum grow wild much closer to you. However, nothing is impossible. Perhaps it came on the silk road a thousand years ago.

Dependable every year, L. pardalinum.  Like dancing flames in the garden.

[Pascal B]

I think this might be Lilium amoenum but I am not sure..... Any suggestions are welcome...

[Maggi Young]

Crumbs, Pascal, I cannot confirm ID  but what a beautiful flower!

[Pascal B]

Maggi, I only have one flowering so I selfed it and hope for the best. Slightly visible is a whitish streak on the outer petals which worries me a bit. Scent is strong and quite overpowering, plants are only 25 cm high, very similar in habit to the L. sempervivoideum I posted earlier, first I thought it was going to flower white but the day before it opened it turned warm pink. I only hope they can cope with the sudden heat here in Holland because if it is amoenum, it should be a "cooler" species.

Same flower from the outside

Lilium ariadne

[mark smyth]

can I slip this in here for IDing? Right now it's being tortured in a smll pot but this hasnt stopped it producing 6 flower stems. I think it's L. duchartei.

Would it suit a trough or is it better released in to the ground?

[Pascal B]

Looks like L. langkongense to me Mark. Not sure about a trough but it should be perfectly happy in the garden but can "run" a bit. Here is one of mine with a bit too much exposure.

Saw what looks like Lilium michiganense recently for the first time ever.  These are growing at the edge of a meadow, under tall trees on a creek bank. I stood just in the meadow (and out of the poison ivy!) to take the pictures.  Height about 5 ft. (1.5 or 1.6 meters, probably).

It looks like L. michiganense to me, but I'm no expert on Lilium.  I've not seen any wild Lilium around here before in 30 years, so I'm a tad bit suspicious.  They ran a sewer line through this area several years ago, so it could have been seeded by someone.
