Very nice Lilium oxypetalum var. insigne David.  Is it as pink as it appears?  If so unique (pink or otherwise!).

Yes it's a good likeness John but I'm hopeless at colours. I would say a purpley shade of pink. I'm sure Susan will have a better picture on her web site.

Well David that is very nice.
It's quite different from mine. A better colour.
I got mine last year from 'The Explorers Garden' and if I'm correct it came from Susan.
Mine is in a trough and photographed this evening. It may look different due to the location and lighting.

Super photo of Lilium martagon, Fuliro... one of my favourites -still a long way to go to be in flower here.



I think Lilium oxy. insigne is pretty variable in colour. Lovely thing...try to get seed from it , David and Graham... always a good idea to keep these growing  from seed.

Graham, I think you're right in respect of location and lighting. Mine is pot grown in the greenhouse and was photographed there in reasonable light.

I have two pots of Lilium oxypetalum var. insigne grown from my own seed sown in 2003.  The original bulbs were from AGS seed sown in 1987 according to the label :o
They have been neglected over the years and only two flowering this year.  They have been repotted so maybe better next year.  The colour is more purple than the pic suggests.

Lilium oxypetalum v. insigne and L. lophophorum today. The latter has quite a good fragrance - first time I've noticed that.  The former seems to change colour every years, usually the petals alternate with white ones but not this year nor the year after transplanting.

After four years in the garden doing nothing, this bulb has multiplied and I have a first flower on Lilium lophophorum. It has bigger flowers than I expected (5 cm long) and it has red speckles...I thought L. lophophorum was always a clean yellow  ???
