Our friends in the Pacific Bulb Society had added another great section to their wiki :
A photo resource of lily bulbs
Their web wizard David Pilling (yes, he's a forumist here!) has announced the addition of a
remarkable photo resource of lily bulbs to produce a new page for the wiki, featuring photos of the bulbs of nearly 50 species, which you can
see here: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/LiliumBulbs (http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/LiliumBulbs)
Pontus Wallsten (another forumist here ;D ) has contributed his photos of lilium bulbs and these with a number from David Pilling and some from Janos Agoston are a useful tool.
David has devised a cunning two part use of the pictures : "To see large versions hold down Shift and click on the photo; clicking names or photos (without Shift) will take you to the relevant species page" - clever eh? 8)
The PBS is a great place for bulb lovers and a great number of members are also members here but if you are not a member, why not give them some support? - why not get involved?

Excellent section, duly bookmarked and fascinating to see the characteristics of each individual dormant bulb. A resource like this is invaluable. Well done.

This is an excellent resource indeed. It finally answered my question of whether a mystery bulb was L. superbum or L. pardalinum. The seeds germinated in my sand frame from who-knows-where and for a non-botanist, the flowers are hard to tell apart from their descriptions. But the bulb is definitive.
