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.
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)
My admit assistant of the Fb group Hartle-Gilman Gardens Private Sales Page, —– Mary Banken Kuehn was struck with pancreatic cancer and from the time of diagnosis to her final moments were very short and quick…. She 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.
This hybrid seedling has some charistictics that have some substantial possibilities of advancement in the world of martagon lilies. This martagon is a dwarf, thus reaching two feet tall. We have seen only a few that provide suitable rock garden displays. Having a martagon in on boarders takes on a whole new meaning with a sweet touch of charming florets dancing to the front seat of the display beds. This miniature hybrid has very few freckles and very little pollen. ( if any ) The fragrance is strong with a sweet, spicy exotic with notes of citrus. The excitement of this beauty is that it’s so unusual, people are already inquiring about how they can get one for their very own collection. I have a few available this season—- Also, this is a very nice increaser once it is established. Small and oh so mighty
