Lilium x martagon ‘Gaybird’ are available at Hartle-Gilman Gardens

‘Gaybird’. Reg pre 1990 Robinson E. (world known hybridizer), Parentage unknown 

The cavum of the perianth, is glowing  of moderate sunshine and of amber-berry soaring within the tepals. A PLETHORA OF SPOTTING THAT HAS A BRILLIANT HALO GLEAMING ON THE BASAL 1/2 OF THE TEPALS. A rare delight,  The brilliance of this classic martagon is stunning when it reaches maturity with a mass of stems . Glowing pink that transforms to a a rich dusty-salmon  appearance as it matures. There is no mistaking ‘Gaybird’ within the gardens. Rich in deep shads of dusty rose hues.  Please note that the phots were taken at different settings and at different natural light settings  Very nice vigorous grower for the woodland gardens.
