Hmmm from me too pardalinum, as we both know there is more than one type of L nepalense. It's a few years since I planted mine, it was small but definitely not dark maroon, more a whitish colour perhaps with a purple flush but I don't really remember that.

Leaves, hmmm, yours does look like a L nepalense lilyfan, many pics I have seen look like that, and a first year flower will sometimes reflect what the bulb has previously been grown in. Soil and all sorts of factors can change that, next year it might look different.

I found mine took a few years to settle into a regular colour pattern, they get better when truly established.

Looking at a pic of mine from last year, the leaves do have that corrugation

Robert, I love your lily, the shape has that extra something, I am jealous! Time to research!
