Photo of Lily Foliage

This pic of martagon type lilies was taken at the same time as the previous photo. These lilies grow in the same garden and adjacent to those others. Obviously, lilies belonging to the martagon section of the Llilium genus emerge earlier and grow faster in the spring. They are also the first to bloom. Lilium x ‘Super Tsing’ is a hybrid of Lilium martagon and Lilium tsingtauense. All martagon section lilies have whorled leaves, but not all whorled leaf lilies belong to the martagon section of Lilium.
