My word, with these flowers one would almost think it is summer  :o :-X
Around 12 degrees here - almost mid-day on the 14th July - pretty feeble even for Aberdeen!

I do not know what makes you think it should be warm in summer. This is Chorley it was 12c yesterday,almost a heatwave........

On a serious note it has been cold since April and the plants have never seemed to have performed better. Clearly their optimum temperature is not ours. It has been a wonderful year so far.

You're quite right, Tony - my vision of warmly glorious summers is clearly skewed  - mistaken memories from my childhood days  in sunny Scotland or from living in Libya - who knows the cause?!!  Harrumph! Off to put on a pair of wooly socks.

A report from a friend in the mid lower peninsula of Michigan.

"I went out in search of L. michiganense on Sunday and found some new colonies.  These were the nicest stems I found.  Typically finding 1 to 3 blooms per stem so out of the 100 or so stems I estimate I saw, these were the exceptional ones.  Definitely an umbel inflorescence – I have read that michiganense can have a raceme, but I have not seed this on any of the plants growing here in my area. "
 
These are not my photos and i do not know the locations.

Ian, love all these beautiful lilies and have never seen yellow L. martagon.
Are they natural forms or cultivars?
