Note : I have made this photo of a wild Martagon Lily in the Combe des Fours at 1800m altitude.
---
Name : Martagon Lily or Turk’s Cap - Scientific name : Lilium Martagon – Family : Liliaceae.
---
Description : Perennial plant 0.30m to 1.50m height. Stretching across Europe to Mongolia, the original Turk’s Cap, Lilium Martagon inhabits a broader range than any other Lily. This variety’s tapered, luminous towers feature up to fifty waxy, pendant flowers composed of strongly recurving snowy white petals. Anchored by whorled, lustrous, deep green foliage, the heavily scented blooms look splendid amid Stipa gigantea.
Habitat : Lilium Martagon is the most frequent Lilium of the Alps. It grows on deep soils, often under cover, up to 2800m altitude.
Comments : Adaptable to full sun. Deer love to dig and eat lily bulbs.

Photo : Slightly cropped, resized and framed in 800x600 for TN.

Bonjour Christian, il est toujours aussi magnifique ce lis! J'espere que l'espece n'est pas en voie d'extinction. Côté photo beau cadrage et couleurs trés vives, mes félicitations Didier.

Christian, this is a excellent Picture. Great colours, sharpness excellent, a very nice composite. Well done.

Une autre magnifique présentation Christian, j'aime beaucoup ce lis sauvage et ses couleurs flamboyantes, la lumière et superbe. Bel arrière-plan flou valorisant la plante.

Bon week-end!

Hello Christian
Every shot in your gallery is a real jewel! Not only perfect technically speaking, but most beautiful too. I like so much the point of view, colors and composition on this picture! The framing is marvellous too, though the recent format is even more interesting.
Congratulations and TFS, dear friend.
Best wishes
Maite

Superbe lys martagon que je ne connais que dans les jardins botaniques. Il est particulièrement tortueux ce sujet là. Quelle belle lumière!
