I am honored to share with you prestigious martagon lilies that were bred by a dear friend and mentor Mr. Hugh Skinner. Mr Skinner has done numerous speaking events in the hopes of educating in breeding, as well as engaging public in the charm of L. martagons. With the numerous publications that he has written on his subject,” Martagon ” he has been sought out at many national conventions to share his knowledge. He is a National Judge for North American Lily Society once it is board approved this year and is a delight to work with over the past four years — I am honored to watch him grow LITERALLY, You just never know what we will be seeing next..
I am happy to inform you that these numbered seedlings do not have a name and when the author names these, you will receive an announcement of the given registered name. (Just to keep your records straight)
—– Mary Banken Kuehn———–who was a private collector of numerous HWS martagons and all of the photos that you see in all of the HWS martagons that I will be listing this season are her photos. Her biggest joy was to have all of the martagons of HWS—- Her collection is huge— When I mentioned to HWS her goal, he said that she has some that he didn’t have anymore. We laughed and then we became silent in the smiles of remembrance of Mary B. Mary B was my 🐝. She is greatly missed by many.
This seedling a rare cross of L. medeoloides var Kurilense hybrid. With pastel pink tepals, that harnesses a overlayment of frostiness, a halo forms on deep rich walnut brown spotting. A burst of center focal patterns that is isolated directly in the center of the six tepals causing an illusion of a clustered starburst. There is a defined green nectary as well as deep cut midribs that run parallel in each of the sepal and petal. Plant grow to about 1 meter in height — These have been raised for resistance and have had no choice but to survive and tolerate the late spring frost days in Dropmore Manitoba. (one of his other breeding goals with his martagon selections. This evaluation still is active with the author and the results have been very rewarding with proven increases over the past decade.
