The Photo pages list the lilies in alphabetical order grouped by type, such as "species", "named hybrids", "seedlings" etc. 

In the named hybrid galleries and the seedling galleries, clicking on the cultivar name, the seedling number or the thumbnail picture will open a page with all of the photos of that particular cultivar or seedling, along with the registration information for cultivars if available.

In the species gallery, the numeral which follows each name indicates whether the photo is that of the floret (1), the inflorescence (2), or the entire plant (3). In some cases, you'll find a lower-case letter following that numeral (e.g. 1a, 1b, etc.). This indicates there are various photos of the same plant that may give viewers a better idea of the variances in color, spotting, etc. For example, you'll find a number of photos of L. martagon, depicting a wide range of color and spotting. Clicking on the name of the lily or the thumbnail picture will open a new page with the full size image. We’ve made no attempt to identify L. martagon itself as to the varieties listed in the RHS Lily Register. Although very worthwhile, we believe this is better done by consensus of a few recognized martagon experts at a later date. Let us know if you can help.

Each photo has the name of the lily in the top-left hand corner. When available, the bottom left-hand corner lists some of the more important hybridizing information. Because of space constraints, photos may not display all the information that the Lily Register does.

Abbreviations used are similar to the ones used in the RHS Lily Register such as:

G = the grower
H = the hybridizer,
I = person who introduced the lily
N = the person who named the lily
NR = not registered (with RHS)
R = the raiser of the lily
REG = the person who registered the lily
U = unknown
UN = un-named.

Other abbreviations used are:

MartAms = lilies resulting from crosses between a martagon lily and a lily fromDivision IV, American lilies;

MartAsians = lilies resulting from crosses between a martagon lily and a lily from Division I, Asiatic lilies.

The Seedling Section provides us with a glimpse into the gardens of some hybridizers and thus the future. The photos illustrating the inter-divisional hybridizing efforts from people such as Norgart Martschinke and David Sims clearly show that the best is yet to come. Gardeners can look forward to even more beautiful martagon lilies soon!

The Photo Index PDF provides a printable reference for all of the photos included on this CD. In the index, the numeral which follows each name indicates whether the photo is that of the floret (1), the inflorescence (2), or the entire plant (3). In some cases, you'll find a lower-case letter following that numeral (e.g. 1a, 1b, etc.). This indicates there are various photos of the same plant .
