Lilium dauricum, this one grown from seed collected on Sakhalin Island in the Russian far east. This one is a small bulb, just over an inch in diameter grown in a small pot, but it did produce its first bloom this past summer.

I was a little puzzled when examining this bulb because two of the scales seemed to be segmented (shown with orange arrows in the pic below). I had thought that was a trait reserved only for a couple species in the martagon section (see post #30 in this thread here.) So I did some researching and the Flora of China indeed states that L. dauricum bulbs may or may not have segmented scales.
