Hans,

Wow, that's a beauty.  Are they native there, or is it an escapee/planting?  I know you say top of a mountain, but I have no idea how much introduced flora there is there?

Pascal,

That single flowered pink species is glorious.  Just such a perfect flower. :o

Thanks for posting, everyone.
Cheers.

Hans,

It sounds so cool to be able to see Lilium in the wild.  I can only imagine how beautiful it would be to some upon something like that in full flower while wandering around on a mountain top.  So very far away from here though for a visit.  ;D  You're very lucky.
Cheers.

Fields of L. souliei, indeed! It was a rather good location, Nomocharis, Megacodon and Cypripedium as roadside weeds on the way up, and hundreds of L. souliei at the top (in addition to Arisaema elephas, Mandragora caulescens, Polygonatum, Lloydia, Notholirion, Fritillaria, Cremanthodium, Primula, Rheum alexandrae etc. etc.).

Yunnan is cheap and easy, and Zhongdian has excellent pizza and Beer Lao, so a trip there is highly recommended :)

More pics coming up, just need to go thru them all (and sleep off the jet lag).

Zihair, it is he same type of virus that was present in Lilium tigrinum,when it was grown by the thousands.

As you know, nowadays is seldom grown as it is the symptomless carrier of all Lilium viruses.

Can anybody help me with identification of virus mosaic symptoms on Asiatic lilies?
I am very keen in identifying virus symptoms on oriental and other lilies, which have wide leaves. But I've never seen how virus looks in Asiatic lilies, which have narrow leaves. I grow around 35 lily species and cultivars, taking a special and individual care of them and so far I didn't have problems with virus. I have seen virused oriental lilies in my colleagues garden, who grows lilies for cutting.

Last year I got some Soviet-bred Asiatic lilies from Siberia and one cultivar looks very suspicious. At the beginning it looked .O. K., but later the leavesbecame very strange (darker green spots on general green ground with some yellowish tones). I don't know if it is virus or not. For virus identification, as a rule I observe younger upper leaves, as virus symptoms are better seen on younger leaves. But in this case, it is different: young leaves look O.K., but in a period of time they turn yellowish with darker spots. maybee Luit can help me, showing this pictures to the lily specialists?
