Photo of specie lilies; a new cycle has started!

Last Saturday I have been indulging (once more!) in buying three new martagons from the same nursery I got my others in the past.
They were just looking too tempting, not my fault, lol!!

One I bought is another martagon 'alba' with a head heavy of flowerbuds. Irresistible!
The second (not 'alba') I bought for the remarkable difference in foliage.
The leaves are very rounded and more thick and sturdy than the normal ones, although it has little leaves in comparison with the lush foliage of the others.
The third I bought out of greed because there are 4 flower stems and some babies growing at the bottom in just one pot. So I got at least 4 lilies for the price of one!
I've seen these martagons in autumn in the same nursery being freshly potted up and I know that only one bulb was planted in each pot.

this is the fat martagon 'alba';
