This is another of my 2006 garden additions having arrived here on May 6, 2006 and planted the same day. I ordered two bulbs (one for back-up) and planted them about 12" apart. Both grew well beyond my expectations to approximately 40"; and both bloomed beautifully with at least 6-8 buds per stem! That is remarkable in itself. The stems were strong enough, I did not need to stake them even though they were a little top-heavy. Again, this was one of those investments in gardening that paid big dividends.

From what I've read on this lily it is a resulting 1957 cross of L. speciosum var rubrum and L. Henryi. So apparently it has been around for some time (unknown to me). Like everyone else who loves and enjoys gardening, I was ecstatic to see my first bloom! It seemed too good to be true, but seeing IS believing. It is with that feeling I share the following picture.

This view is looking slightly "upward": My focus was on the green throats.
