Martagon lilies have whorled leaves, meaning three or more leaves at each node, and so are some lilium species like L. canadense.
The other martagon species:
L. martagon
L. medeoloides
L. tsingtauense
L. distichum
Happy gardening.

Lilium hansonii
The lily I am sharing in this post is Lilium hansonii, a martagon species native to Korea. Its flower is yellow, slightly recurved with brown spots. It is reported that it can grow up to four feet tall. Mine is only 2 feet as it has not really settled in in my garden. I have acquired this lily in the spring of 2010 from my local lily society. It did not flower then. It has rewarded me with three lovely blooms this spring.

A beautiful delicate lily! I am going to begin branching out with my lilies this fall. I find with a small garden, I always have room for a lily!

This lily is so beautiful and unusual. Do you think that it would grow in Colorado?
What a beautiful Lily, we have one in the garden called lily tigrinum splendens, perhaps more common than your one but still makes a good statement in the garden.
Lovely color! ...so bright and summery...
@Eileen,
That is great! There is always room for lilies. ;)
@Ann,
Lilies are hardy in Colorado.
@Alistair,
Tigrinum splendens, now Lancifolium splendens is the true tiger lily. I have tons in my garden and I love them. They might be common but they are beautiful.
Thank You For All the Info From Your Experience!
