The historically hot and very dry weather of the past few months in the US Northwest has made a number of plants behave differently than usual. One surprise coming with cooling temperatures is that a Lilium martagon in the garden, which had flowered in late spring as usual and withered, has sent up a second scape and opened some flowers. I've never had a lily species do this before. Has anyone else seen such behavior? This particular martagon lily was grown from seed obtained from a Czech collector, who wrote that it came from an "orange-flowered" population in Siberia. My plant's flowers are not what I could call "orange," but they are different from the usual pink or white shades, being a sort of muddy buff. Not a gem, but certainly an eccentric.
