An original beauty

There are lots of martagon lilies (varjolilja in Finnish) in Vårkulla's garden. Lily bugs love them and most of the early summer went by with me hanging above the lilies trying to catch the buggers. I think we humans won as there were just a few (dead now them too) in July. Before buying Vårkulla I had tried to find martagon lilies in garden stores without any luck. I was really happy when I realised there are lots in Vårkulla - and not so happy last summer when we found the first lily bugs in them.

I am still looking for white martagon lilies so if you have plenty or know where I can buy them, let me know!
