Lilium ?
« on: July 02, 2017, 04:12:00 PM »
Hello, this plant (bulb) I had bought as "Lilium bulbiferum". It is certainly not :-(
What might be from it, and / or which could fit these leaves?
The plant is currently about 30 cm high and the bulb had A diameter of about 5 cm. She was, as far as I can remember, not scaly.
thx
Bernd

@Graham .....sorry, perhaps your assumtion is correct !

Perhaps really a bletilla. Compared to my other bletillas (formosana, striata, ochracea, sinensis) the leaves are at least 2 - 3 times wider, also the plant is bigger. To systematics I unfortunately found many different information, but perhaps it could be a foliosa? Can not find a description in the net :-(
Greetings
