Hi -- didn't see a thread for these, so thought I'd start one.

This is Pink Taurade, new for me, and I'm in love.

I guess you have to click/enlarge the pix to get the whole thing. The picture quality on Cubits seems very good.

This is another grouping of Claude Shride and P.T.

I love the way they bob in the breeze. And, sadly, they're one of the few kinds of lilies that do well for me here. So I'd better stock up this fall.

I see now that there are martagon pix in another thread in another forum. I'll get the hang of this!

I know I put marties somewhere... because we didn't have a specific thread. I'll add some here. Smiling

Thanks.

Yep, it's exact! It has established nicely too. Had to grab that first blossom and get a picture.

Moonyeen is one I want, I did get brave and ordered the 3 that Ramona has from Faraway Flowers. http://www.farawayflowers.com/...

I could use some hints on growing them.

Moby, I remember you mentioned a site once that has a lot. Can't seem to find it.

Amelita from Ramona. I received one bulb from her the fall of 2005, and this is what it has become. And It goes to seed every year, too, as I use it heavily as a hybridizing pod parent. Great foliage.

Also in the pic:
Adlumia fungosa - Bleeding heart vine
Digitalis ferruginea
Impatiens balfourii
Impatiens glandulosa
Digitalis trojana

Amelita has sure done well for you. I ordered and just received the book "Martagon Lilies" by E. Eugene Fox today. Looks like good information.

I found a number of Martagons at S-W Gardens in Canada. Think maybe that is the place you mentioned once Moby?

Not only is Amelita beautiful, but my daughter's name is Amelia, and I feel I have to have it. Will be looking for it. I don't remember seeing it on Ramona's site last time I checked, but will check again right now. It's certainly happy at your house Rick!

What a beautiful shot. The coloration is very similar to 'Moonyeen'
