When I first say the downward facing recurved I didn't care for them. But I finally ordered Ariadne from The Lily Garden here in the US. They sent me IONA. I rather liked it though it was very tiny. I ordered Ariadne again but she sent something else and a note saying I would like it better and it would do better here. Not sure I care for her reasoning. But we shall see. I planted it (along with others ordered) last fall.
My lilies don't get all that tall. The tallest was Conc d'Or @ 36". Mine seem rather ho hum compared to all of yours. And of course you are hybridizing your own lilies with the 'mixing and matching.' Fascinating to see the outcomes.
