I copied this from the genus lilium site;

"var. caucasicum Mischenko 1928: Very large variety from the Black Sea area and Transcaucasia with a hight of up to 250 cm; buds very hairy; tepals not revolute but widely open in a broad trumpet shape, rose-lilac."

and indeed the picture in the rareplants site doesn't match the shape of the flowers described in the former site..

Copied from the rare plants site;

"This has leaves in big whorls of a very healthy looking dark, dull green. ".

It's a pity though that the picture only shows the flowers.. They don't speak of the shape of the leaves..For the rest it reminds me of the one I got because of its leaves that are so different..

I took a pict of the buds of one of the martagons var.alba which were also very hairy looking..
