Lilium martagon with its many varieties is another fine lily. It has a Turk's Cap form, rather thick petals, and the scales of the bulb are yellow. It is very free flowering with up to 50 flowers on a stem with whorled leaves that can reach 60 inches in height. It remains in flower for a long time and can be grown in sun or part shade where it will be shorter. The species is pale to deep (rather dull) pink but the varieties can be found with yellow, purplish-pink, red or carmine flowers.
