Lilium 'Black Beauty' - Gary Buckley, Tasmania.
Lilium grown from seed furnished by Sir Peter Smithers labeled Pink Trumpet. These plants have been reliable and robust in my Northern California garden surviving with a lot of winter water when dormant and very little summer water when in growth and blooming in July. Each year the color is a little different. Some years they have been pink and other years the buds are pink but the flowers look cream with a distinctive yellow throat. Photos by Mary Sue Ittner.
Lilium 'Preston Yellow' is an old hybrid of the martagon group raised by Isabella Preston. Preston was a Canadian lily hybridist active before the Second World War; she is perhaps best remembered for a then famous series of asiatic hybrids which were called the Stenographer Hybrids. Photographed by and in the garden of Jim McKenney on June 9, 2005.
Lilium white Oriental, Gary Buckley, Tasmania.
