It's a Martagon lily Dan.

Thankyou! :)

I wouldn't go for martagon (purple or white), Stera. It is one of the 'Turks Cap' (aka Tiger Lily) lilies certainly, but I am not sure which, there is a whole slew of them. I was going to say L. pyrenaicum until I got to the last picture, now I dont think so. But very nice, Dan.

Thankyou! It was my grandmas and since moving it it seems to have doubled its growth size. Must've been one or two bulbs with other things I'd taken as a few have popped up in other spots!!

I thought they were the same - Google seems to use both names in some references. Please can you tell me the difference Bulba?

All Martagon Lilies are 'Turks Cap' lilies, not a TC are Martagon's though...

Right.That sorts that one then!

A Martagon lily is Lilium martagon, a definite species (purple or white). These type of lilies are called Turks Cap lilies because of the shape of the flowers (they were tiger Lilies when I was a kid). There are many species, any many more named varietes, of Turks Cap lilies but if you search the web for the bulb suppliers you will see that a good number of them eroniously lump these as martagon.

Looking through the pictures again and comparing them with the Lilium pyrenaicum in our own garden, I would now say that this could well be L. pyrenaicum. It is a good 'do'er' and will form a nice large clump.

Yes it has began to form a decent clump! There's several others around the garden too that are on their own at the moment :) must've got mixed in with other stuff when planting
