Title: Identification of Lilium ledebouri
Post by: m.badrzadeh on March 05, 2009, 09:37:35 AM

hi
I think this species is Lilium ledebouri. I found it from caucasus region in Ardabil province(in Iran). Please, look at the photos of this lilium and say me: If its scientific name is correct or no?

Best regards,
Mikail Badrzadeh

Helllo, Mikail, welcome to the Forum.
 I have moved your post here to the Bulb Section of the Forum.

I think that your lily is indeed Lilium ledebourii ( synonym L. monadelphum var. ledebourii )
The origin in Iran would suggest that, as well as the appearance ...... but I am not an expert ..... others here will be a ble to say more, I am sure.  8)
