Thanks Leftwood! I left them as they were and I'll be wiser in autumn what they are.

I'm very excited! Just an hour ago I received the 3 L.martagon var.albiflorum from the VanTubergen company I had ordered some weeks ago.

It's a pity they don't have an English version of their web, so I'm translating partially what it says;

"The lily is specially grown for them on one of the historical islands close to 'Broek' on 'Langedijk' and is a magnificent form of L.martagon that hasn't been offered before.......................... The flowers are white with a pinkish hue accentuated by purple spots and pinkish-red stripes on the back-side of the flower"

but there is a problem. One of them shows a blue-green mould on several sides. The two healthy ones I have already planted, one in a pot and the other in the garden. The moulded one I'm hesitating what to do with it and have wrapped it in some humid moss.

I've send them an e-mail to let them know, I hope they are going to send me another or give me a refund for that one.
