lilium 2012

[johnw]

Also Lilium canadense sent to me by John in Newfoundland,a very elegant plant.

From Nova Scotia to New Zealand and now Newfoundland in less than a year, my how I do get around. 

Here's the yellow form that Ken picked up in a box store a few years ago, rather shocked that it was correctly labelled.

Presently 27c and relentless sunshine.  We are tinder dry and there is a province wide open fire ban.  I was in the Annapolis Valley yesterday where the drought is far worse, 34c, and glad to get out of that.

my apologies you will see I have corrected my post. Really having just spent two weeks over there my geography should be better.

No apologies required  Tony, I get a kick out of my many house moves.

Fantastic pictures, wonderful plant John.

L. tsingtauense
The depth of the orange of this species is, to me, amazing. Unfortunately I can never get it to reproduce in a photograph,

A Lilium tsingtauense I have grown from some scales sent me by martin Baxendale a couple of years ago,well ravaged by lily beetle.

Also Lilium amoenum which is very nomocharis like. The colour is really quite a bit darker than shown

[Martin Baxendale]

Tony, you got the tsingtauense to flowering size fast! Mine are still too small to flower.

Nice lilies, all fellows  Michiganense is a beautiful Lilium, Johnw.

L. martagon

From the SLPG.

Lilium rosthornii.

[Tony Willis]

two more of mine.

Lilium bakerianum ssp delavayi

A yellow specimen. I have this as Lilium parryi but Gene Miro an expert on American lilies has pointed out it is wrong. Nice but disappointing.

[Maggi Young]

lovely photos, Tony.

Gene Mirro has got a piece on the American lilies in the next IRG, online this Friday 

[Tony Willis]

Last year he sent us a wonderful list of sites to see them in the wild in California but apart from one we were too early,they were all in bud. Saw a lot of other things so swings and roundabouts. He is a real expert on them.

Lilium henryi var. citrinum

[Roma]

I started off with only Lilium martagon album and Lilium martagon ssp cattaniae but now have all shades of pink all over the garden
