18 years ago

I adore heavily spotted orientals, but I don't know my lilies as well as I do my roses. I have 16 different lily varieties growing in my yard (mostly orientals, orienpets, and a couple asiatics). I would be greatful if you could share any photos of the following hybrids, species & more.

Muscadet

Nippon

Lovely Girl

Lime Star

Miss Katie

Sans Souci

Twinkles

Little Eve

Midnight Star

Sun God

Spring Pink (Asiatic)

Species growing in the wild:

These are a mystery to me; I'd love to see some photos....

L.Auratum (golden rayed lily of Japan)

L.speciosum (korea)

var.platyphyllum Baker

var.pictum Wallace

var.rubro-vittatum Duchartre

var.rubrum Carriere

var. virginale Duchartre

Any of the L.Parkmanii hybrids or successors

Hi, Sweet Pea. The GardenWeb site has a wonderfully useful database of plants, containing members' photos and comments. If you go to the link below, you'll discover that there are 6552 lilies in the database!!

Click on the link, and scroll down until you see:
--Search the HortiPlex Database:
--Please enter a common name or a botanical name:

In the space, type "lilium" and then whatever type or variety of lily you want to search. For example, if you type "lilium muscadet", it will take you to listings with that name. An icon of a camera means that there is at least one photo with the listing, and a "smiley face" means there are comments. Just click on "More info".

The search also works for species lilies.

You won't find all the lilies you're looking for (it all depends if someone has shared a photo), but it's a start! Happy researching!

I have a beautiful white orchid available for trade. It is a full grown keiki, seperated from the mother plant. The flowers are huge, round (like a plate) and white with yellow throat and delicate dark red/magenta spotting. This is your classic true white Phal. This plant is blooming size (8' pot), and I am willing to trade the parent plant (10+' pot) for multiple plants. Phal Taisuco Kochdian (it is the same flower as shown here: http://www.pbase.com/ugot2bkdng/image/55389445) Here is a link that might be useful: Phal Taisuco Kochdian

I would like to see those, Rick. I do not plan on sowing any more seeds so I will have to vicariously experience your other adenium varieties. Do you think they have more extensive roots in the soil? In my case, my last three surviving Arabicums are significantly less anchored than my obesums. I suspected it was due to the poor quality of the seeds but I don't really know. Pagan

Hi Cailin, yes I'm aware of Hortiplex - I remembered to look right after I posted, but it's a good thing you reminded me, thanks for taking the time to explain.

The photos above just blow me away! Kenneth, I'd give anything to have Sans Souci & speciosum, but I don't think I can find the former in Canada. There is a supplier in the U.S. (Snow Creek Gardens?), but I'm not sure if they ship to Canada; I'm trying to find out, but I doubt it.

George - Your Muscadets are a showstopper! Wow!! If I were a guest in your garden, I would not want to leave, LOL!
O.K., I've placed an order for this one - about time I get it.

Thanks to all who posted :)
