Curious to know more about Terracotta Warrior! *Waits patiently*

I'm really looking forward to reading the background on Tiger Babies. I wonder if more than one variant has reached Australia, or if all the Tiger Babies here will be identical.... It's such a gorgeous flower. Something about the synergy between the spotting and subtle gradation of colour across the petal - it's just splendid whether you spy it from a distance or look closely:



Some more pics to share for Christmas, starting with a couple of martagon seedlings:

'Red Life' - dubious dutch trade nomenclature - I really wondered if I was buying a dud... but this is a wonderful strong lily. I'm really impressed with the size, substance and form of the flowers, and I love the steep pedicels!:



And another beautiful addition - this is Night Flyer in bud:
