Lilium Michauxii

Genus: Lilium.

Species: lilium michauxii.

Another bulb grown from seed swapped on a swapshop, bit disappointed when these arrived as most had been crushed in the post, but sowed them anyway and every seed germinated, grown really well, leaves just died back so moved into greenhouse, grown these for in the wood as prefers shady spot, but will take 3-4 years to flower.
31/2ft tall, flowers 3-4inches across petals curl back and are yellow, orange or red with brown or purple spots.
