Photo of Lilium formosanum and phillipinense

Looking at the pic of my Nomocharis it does have some slight serration on the edges of the larger petals. I think because it's a natural hybrid and if grown from seed there is going to be a lot of variation. A good reason to stick with straight species if you want one that looks like the pic.

My #4 lilium philippinense come what may has opened. And it's like #2 and #3, quite a nice heavy shading of reddish purple on the petal backs. I like the way the colour bands near the stem end twist. This one also has a heavy orange peel effect on the petals.
