The wonderful Lily Martagon variety
'Chameleon' has been growing in my garden for 3 years.
This year the lilies bloom profusely. Last years they were small,
without flowers.
These lilies are of the Family Liliaceae, hybrid lily, grow well in zone 3-9, on moist, humus-rich soil.

I planted the lilies next to the thuja, and they look beautifully against the golden background of the thujas. There is partial shade, sun in the morning. Their height is about 1 meter. 'Chameleon' lilies bloomed for two weeks.
'Chameleon' lilies open pink and after a few days turn salmon and
yellow with dark spots.
All Martagon lilies are gorgeous with their numerous flowers, natural appearance, self-supporting stems, hardy growth and shade tolerance. (Wiki)

Another Martagon lily variety 'Tiger lily' grows for years and blooms every
August. It's not tall as 'Chameleon' but is colorful as well.
Do you grow any Lily Martagon varieties? What is
your experience?
Stunning pictures,including the header.Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my post.
DeleteAll the best!
We don’t grow lilies any more as we had them spoiled by lily beetle which was a shame as yours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI spray the lily buds before they open, Sue. I always use chemical treatment against beetles.
DeleteНадежда,шикарная лилия!У меня такой нет..
ReplyDeleteНадежда, я случайно купила 3 луковицы этих лилий на распродаже. Они были такие жалкие, а теперь выросли красавицы.
DeleteBeautiful lilies, Nadezda! Yes, I grow martagon lilies here too, but here they bloom in May. Yours are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marit, sure your Martagon are pretty ones.
DeleteStunning lilies deer Nadezda, really stunning. You love your plants and they feel it and grow so beautifully. Photos are also so wonderful. Warm greetings, have a nice day. Hugs. :)))
ReplyDeleteI do think the plants have feelings or hear what a gardener says them, Agnes.
DeleteAll the best to you!
Beautiful shots of a beautiful plant, Nadezda. It starts my day well.
ReplyDeleteNice to know your day started off well, David, my photographs helped make it happen.
DeleteHave a nice Friday!
The lilies are beautiful. We had a lot of different lilies, but we discarded them all. We got tired of the Scarlet lily beetle (Lilioceris lilii). They destroyed the flowers every year.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I spray fungicide against the Scarlet lily beetle before the lily buds open. I lost many of pretty lilies as well.
DeleteNiin kauniit liljat. ❤️ Minulla kasvaa puutarhassamme myös tiikerililjoja (Lilium lancifolium), jotka ovat hyvin kestäviä ja kauniita. 😊
ReplyDeleteI love Lilium lancifolium as well, they are pretty.
DeleteKiitos.
Hello Nadezda ! This is a wow factor lily !
ReplyDeleteI have one .. the name escapes me at the moment .. it was supposed to be Guinea Gold but it turned out to be something else .. I loved it all the same .. it was my first time seeing it bloom this year and it did last a long time .. small but numerous flowers .. and of course we have to deal with the lily beetles .. so that sucks some of the pleasure out of them .. however ? I am not giving up .. lilies are such beautiful flowers !
I agree Joy, lilies are beautiful so we have to straggle with a lily beetle.
DeleteSure your lilies are very pretty.
Hola Nadezda, espero perdones mi tardanza en visitarte, pero la delicada salud de mi madre no me deja tiempo. Preciosos tus Lilium, están espectaculares y con una gran floración. Yo también los cultivo, son muy alegres. Feliz fin de semana. Besos.
ReplyDeleteLola, tu no tienes que pedir un perdon, la salud de tu madre es muy importante.
DeleteTienes razon, liliums son alegres flores.
Son preciosos, yo tengo varios los veras en alguna entrada. Besos.
ReplyDeleteEstoy segura Teresa tus liliums son fabulosos, voy a ver en tu blog.
DeleteEverytime I tried to grow flowers at home they died :( but these ones you have in here are a true present from nature.
ReplyDeleteLilies grow well at home but they require high humidity. If you can do this condition you will have nice flowers.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour lilies are beautiful. I love their smell, colors and shapes.
Unfortunately, my lilies are a delicacy for voles.
Hugs and greetings:)
Lucja, I grow some lily bulbs in the plastic baskets, so voles, mice and moats can't eat them.
DeleteHugs!
Thanks for sharing. Cameleon lily is very interesting. I haven't seen this type.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, roughterrain crane.
DeleteLovely photos, Nadezda! The 'Chameleon' has a wonderful combination of colours.
ReplyDeleteLilium martagon seems to be an interesting plant.
In Finland, when we speak about Tiger lily, we usually mean Lilium lancifolium. My mother had them when I was a child. They look rather similar, so this post feels also nostalgic to me.
I'm sorry you haven't been able to visit Finland yet. Corona restrictions having been somewhat lifted, there are indeed more cases also here. But every day we will be nearer to the victory over the virus!
You're right, Sarah Lilium lancifolium is colorful and interesting. Of course, your mother had many lovely tiger lilies.
DeleteI think that the new vaccine, wherever it is produced, will rid people of this terrible disease.
Take care of yourself!
A joy to see these beautiful lilies, lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Glad you liked my photos, Jan.
DeleteHappy weekend.
Preciosos lirios amiga. Están muy lindos con esos lunares rojos.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana Nadezda. Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
Es bueno que te gusten los lirios Laura.
DeleteBuen domingo,
Te deseo buena salud.
