OK, here are the blooming Liliums (all commercial asiatic hybrids ) I had not shown before.

Please overlook the weeds - when it was time to pull them I was spending my time with Rory.

Tiny yellow L.a. hybrid with dots:

Tiny Padhye (the only one I was able to identify):

This one is really dwarf (the stems are app. 10 to 12 cm tall. There is a very slight blush of orange near the center of the flower. This is a planter with bulbs produced from scales I allowed to bloom for the first time (last year I cut the single flower buds):

The buds of this flower (unfortunately I took no picture) looked like siamese twins joined at the base. Today it opened and looks like this:

No way to capture the real colour of this Lilium: it is realy dark, the darkest I have seen so far, but the camera sees something different:

This one has tall stems for L.a. hybrids. The pictures correspond to planters with Liliums obtained from scales (one of these planters had the surprise Alstroemeria pulchra bonus):
