Martagon lilies are fairly recent additions to the gardens... above and below is an example of a plant that was gifted from a friend and I'm not sure if it's a martagon or not, although it has a similar appearance.
'Russian Morn' has been in the garden for about 15 months... it stands 4' tall at this point in time...
I planted 30 martagons last fall and several are going to bloom although they are still very small. I think this one may be "Terrace City"...
I purchased this lily years ago in Vermont and it is not as labeled. I'm guessing it may be Lilium hansonii which is a martagon species... it has speckles and whorled leaves... any thoughts?
Within a few days, the arbor will be the most floriferous area of the gardens, thanks to the New Millenium Delphiniums, Clematis, Astilbes, and Calliope Pelargoniums.
The "Blue Lace" selections have yet to open and the purples are for the most part "Pagan Purples"...
The Calliope geraniums are starting to hang over the edges of the pots...
I replaced my Sweet Autumn Clematis with the much longer blooming "Betty Corning". In addition to a lengthier bloom season, it is better sized for this location...
The astilbes below are all the cultivar "Younique Silvery Pink" ... the small conifer is Picea abies 'Little Gem'...
A number of earlier clematis in the arbor area are close to finished blooming; however, the Jackmanii and Avant Garde combined on the rustic trellis on either side of the arbor are just beginning...
The Japanese tree lilac is coming into bloom, albeit less heavily than normal...
Garden Phlox "Junior Dance" and "Junior Dream" will provide follow up bloom later in the season... There are also about 40 young orienpet lilies along the arbor fence... small this season but should provide additional color in the future...
Following are photos from other areas in the gardens... bloom is slim just now but that should change soon...
The Birch Walk basically relies on hostas and ferns at this time of the year, but a number of astilbes will soon join the choir...
Siberian irises are closing down for the season... this is one of the later blooming clumps...
A couple years ago or more, I divided and moved most of my Iris spuria. Since they resent transplanting, we are only now starting to get the occasional bloom stalk...
Clematis Betty Corning...
Clematis Josephine just beginning to bloom...
The president is a favorite of mine and will be accompanied by pink asiatic lilies soon...
That's a part of what is in bloom at Oak Lawn today... lilies, hemerocallis, and more clematis will soon create a riot of color in the gardens...
