I notice that the Tasmanian shows tend to center on trumpet types. I imagine that is because that's what is putting on the best show at that time of year (?). The Minnesota lily show is heavy on asiatics for the same reason. Thanks for the pics, Della.
A word about the species pics:
---- The
Lilium callosum is just opening. A mature flower often has all tepals reflexed so strongly that they curl in on themselves. Color for the species is variable, but the dusky hue and flat sheen (both of which become more noticeable as the flower matures) are the normal species traits.
---- The strongly reflexed tepals of
Lilium lijiangense most commonly curl into themselves also. In
Lilium wardii also, but necessarily as prevalent.
