Lilium 2021
« on: May 01, 2021, 08:49:36 PM »
In 2019 I posted a query about a stoloniferous lily, grown from srgc seedex seed. Don't know how to insert old quotes, but it is lilium 2019 Reply#7.

This is what it looks like in flower in a pot, in a cold greenhouse:







Looks a bit like a Frittilaria camschatsensis on steroids to me, or a Nomocharis??

Anyone an  idea what this might be?

Hi Gail,
Thanks for your praise but there is no wisdom involved.
The link you posted does lead to ' website temporarily closed' so I googled L. souliei, but I do think its flowers are more pronounced 'bell' shaped. interestingly it throws up a picture from the bulb log 21, 18-05-2004 (!) where both L souliei and F camschatsensis are shown. My bet is still on the Frit, given these pics as comarison. BUT I have tried to grow F. camschatsensis before and invariably killed it off within 2 seasons and gave up. Also, why would I get Frit seed as Lilium via the seedex....
Is Frit Camschatsensis stoloniferous (I also don't know a thing about frits...)
And Maggi, the pics are on their sides again, soo sorry...

Fritillaria camschatcensis leaves are in whorls.  Lilium souliei leaves are scattered.

Hi Bart, I think you are right that this is a vigorous form of Fritillaria camschatcense, because of the whorled leaves identified by Rick.

Here's my Lilium macklinae.

Can't remember which Nomocharis this is I'm afraid!

Cardiocrinum giganteum.  These lilies have seeded themselves throughout my garden.  These are all self-sown.

Me neither Brian! Don't they have slugs in the US?

We do have slugs in my part of the US.

They make a feast of the spring Colchicum leaves.

Yes, the Pacific Northwest excels in slugs, from tiny to monstrous -- think Limax maximus (leopard slug), Arion ater (black slug), or Ariolimax columbianus (banana slug).  We also have recently become infested with red lily beetle.  Always a challenge.
