Dear Gurcharan ji, The species name "maculatum" stands for spotted, and I believe it comes from the heavily spotted petals that I see in the images on the web: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lilium_maculatum_flower.jpg On the other hand, the petals of your flowers look spotless. So, I urge you to rethink the identification. Unfortunately, I am unable to suggest anything. - Tabish
