Thanks for helping me find out!
That's great! I thought it would be L.martagon, but wasn't sure because there's no pictures of whole plant :)
They sure are I agree ^_^ These were arranged with multiple flowers on one stem. I also think they are Lilium martagon. I just looked some pictures up and the flowers and their position on the stem look exactly like the ones I photogrpahed.
They are beautiful, are these flowers in inflorescence or there are single flowers on stem? This looks to me like flowers of Lilium martagon...
Sadly I don't. I already had some trouble taking these shots because it was getting dark, so I just went with what I could photograph :)
Hello! Do you have any picture of whole plant?
