I have two seed-grown clumps of martagon lilies that resemble
pictures and descriptions of 'Mrs R O Backhouse'. However, the two
clumps are fairly distinct.
Questions:
1. Is 'Mrs R O Backhouse' generally considered to come true from seed?
2. What other lilies, species, hybrids, or cultivars, closely
resemble 'Mrs R O Backhouse'?
3. How can these others be distinguished from 'Mrs R O Backhouse'?
Until quite recently these two clumps were suppositiously identified
as 'Mrs R O Backhouse' and L. × dalhansonii, but images and
descriptive texts found via Google reveal that the latter is quite
distinct from the former. Whatever I have, it isn't × dalhansonii.
When these flower I'll try to image them for the wiki.
