Lilium taliense - last year with 3 flowers, this year already several more............. :)
A very nice surprise: a cheap "shopping centre" Asiatic named ´Feuerzauber´ (which means something like "magic of fire") shows enormous cherry red flowers of great substance (better pictures will follow). It´s, obviously, a crossing from 1970 (my birthday year :) ) of 'Erect' (= L. x hollandicum selection) x L. tigrinum (= L. lancifolium?), and I have ten of them, several already with secondary buds in their first year!
I planted them mainly for cut flowers, but I guess, they are also very interesting for hybridizing (provided, they are not triploids)............. :)
My first time to see lily foliage like that.
AntwortenLöschenWould love to see the blossoms of taliense. Look at that inflorescence. I bet next year it will be even better.
That Feuerzauaber lily is very lovely. 1970 cross, interesting...a year older than me :)
