Tony, parryi normally has a long throat and more of a bell shape.  Is it possible that your plant is a hybrid?

Gene

I see what you mean.

My plant came from a commercial source in the UK and there is every chance that it is a hybrid. Although it is very beautiful this is disappointing. It is also bulking up very quickly which is a bit suspicious.

If it is very vigorous, it may be a hybrid with pardalinum.

A very nice form of the variety, Michael, and well grown, too.

I'm really looking forward to Gene's article...

Increasing in bud count every year, but not getting any taller:
Lilium rosthornii
          

It has proven to be its regular habit, year after year, for this plant to abruptly change leaf size as it makes a flower stalk.  The phenomenon can be seen in the above photo and the one below.  Is this normal for the species?  I only have one mature clone of the species, so I can't tell.

My rosthornii lilies show the same phenomenon, Rick. As I am not at home I only have looked at old pics though. I'll take a look when I get home soon!

wonderous!  Shocked Shocked Shocked

That's a lot of flowers for what seems like a short stem.  How tall is it, and how big are the flowers?

I held it up to photograph it so it is only partially shown. It is on an arching stem three feet tall and each flower is just over two inches across. It is also nicely scented. I grow it in a pot of gritty compost plunged in an outdoor sand bed during the summer and then keep it just moist in the garage during the winter.

I received this catalogue yesterday and was amazed by the cover pic of a new hybrid lilium - 'Lankon' - from a L.longiflorum x L. lankonense cross.
Has anyone grown this one before and would they know what conditions it requires?
Any help would be appreciated - at over $10 a single bulb I don't really want to waste the time or the money if it's not suitable for this garden.
cheers
