Lilium 2015

Roma

no seeds but I have raised a couple from scales and so you can have one.

Came a couple of weeks too late, but at least I found it! Lilium matangense below, from the type location. I believe these are the first photographs of it ever published, both online and offline.

Nice pix Bjørnar - really shows the feathery, sometimes spare leaves - maybe next year you'll be there to photograph the flowers!

Den var svært spesiell, Bjørnar!

This one was very special.

Do you plan to collect seed or is the population too sparse?

[arisaema]

Hope to go back early next June to see in in flower, and yes, if I have time I will probably go back this autumn. Someone has planted firs where it grows, so in a decade or two I'm afraid they'll be gone, that is of course if no one digs them before that, like what happened to the type location of Lilium yapingense  (The forum needs an angrier smiley...)

[Maggi Young]

Happy to oblige

Very interesting to see Bjornar even without flowers.

Lilium michiganense,a truly elegant plant

I love the way those flowers are held - makes them look as if they are paying attention!

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

Oh boy Maggi, it was 12C here today and it's the middle of winter! Everyone's complaining of the freeeeeezing cold.

Stunning liliums folks. I have always admired the North American liliums.
