(Liliaceae)
Lilium poilanei  WWJ11679

Description

A beautiful highly scented species which formes slender stems with scattered lanceolate leaves, 1-2m tall, bearing 1-many large yellow pendant trumpet flowers with recurving tepals, stained red in the base August-October. From one of our 2006 seed collections from the Tram Trom Pass northern Vietnam, one of the few footholds that it had survived in, which unfortunately has since been devastated making way for a new road into China. Here it grew on shady vertical cliffs, rooting into cracks and narrow shelves. Best grown in a well drained fertile soil with plenty of moisture retention in part shade.
