It is a dry hot year and most plants are very stressed and stunted in the draught. But a few new blooms are open
All are aurelians

Beautiful lilies, Rimmer.
Today the Dahlia bloom line passed through Blackpool on its way North - first Dahlia flower to open "David Howard".

Your Aurelians are truly impressive, Rimmer. The color range you have, together with the black and green hearts make a wonderful display. I have seedlings of yours growing from the 2020 and 2021 NALS seed exchange, though obviously these won't flower for a few years still. Are either of the white/yellow greenhearts in the last posting 'Sol Verde'? I have seedlings of this from NALS 60-092 growing very strongly. It has been cool and wet up here in the Pacific Northwest; my lilies are about a month behind yours...

Probably not seedlings from Sol Verde.
Borers got my best stem of SV this year
This orange lily has a face a bit like SV

A weak Sol Verde bloom after the stem has spent a week plus in a pail of water in intense heat

Very nice! Thanks for sharing this Rimmer. I look forward to getting blooms in a few years time!

A single seedling of L. stewartianum flowering here. Seeds were originally obtained from Chinese Alpines in the spring of 2018. This is the first year it has flowered for me. It is quite rare in cultivation (and in the wild too, presumably) and it is not included in the Wiki. It is a very short plant - about 9" high, with grass-like foliage.

Beautiful plants, Rimmer. And a little correction, Steve: Lilium stewartianum
WAS not in the wiki ;-). Sad to read at PotW online it is presumably extinct in the wild, so take care of your survivor.
