Lilium lancefolium luteiflora is interesting, but Google knows nothing about it, is there a story, seeds, bulbs...?

David,
Try Lilium lancifolium (syn. L. tigrinum)!

Well yes, the Google guessed that it was actually Lilium lancifolium but it still knows nothing about the 'luteiflora' bit. Kew monocot checklist knows about:

Lilium lancifolium var. flaviflorum
Lilium lancifolium var. fortunei
Lilium lancifolium var. punctatum
Lilium lancifolium var. roseum
Lilium lancifolium var. rubrum
Lilium lancifolium var. splendens

Hi all, well I gues I am using an old name for the lily flaviflorum is correct thanks for the up-date, cheers Ian the Christie kind.
