Dear Arnold and Udai, Many thanks for your first input on this species... As Arnold suggested I have joined the Lilium Yahoo group and searching the archives... Will try to make a summary of what I found. Just wondering if summer is not too dry here for Lilium wallichianum and if the species will not need some extra watering. To give an idea the three species that are doing very well here are L. henryi, L. regale and L. lancifolium (aside the european species). I will give it a try anyway... Luc
