'Vezuvs' is very free flowering with a huge inflorescence. If I remember correctly it had 21 flowers. Lots of secondary buds and even a tertiary one! Not bad for an Asiatic tango lily. Guntis himself claims 18-28 buds, so there is still room for improvement for mine.
I didn't measure the flower size, but Guntis has it at 16 cm/ 6.3 inches. I think mine were a bit smaller than that, but still good sized.


Not the largest flower or most striking color, but I really liked 'Morzes Kods' for its pattern.



An individual flower of 'Trejdeksnis'. Hard to photograph the whole inflorescence in the spot I had it, but In time it should have up to 21 slightly nodding flowers.



A bonus plant.


Also a bonus plant.

Vairāk Saules - this was another bonus plant and I haven't found any about additional info about it, therefore I have chosen not to import it to the database. This year it was quite short, but a nice warm color.


'Zvaigznu Cels'. Google translates the name to "Star Trek". I think the flowers may have some difficulty to open perfectly, but this hybrid should have around 30 flowers on a mature bulb.


Large flower. Glowing color.


'Zvaigžņu Sagša' was fantastic at its best. It has to be said that it's a bit prone to fading, but the the flower is large and the color isn't the more common pink/yellow, rather a pink/apricot combination and had a striking and exotic presence in the garden. Except for its unusual color it was more looking like an Oriental lily than an Asiatic. The following picture shows its fading tendencies better. 'Saldās Atmiņas' at the bottom:
