Positive	toriastar	On Jul 18, 2007, toriastar from Arlington, VA wrote: These grow well for me in Virginia, they seem to last a while, and are a wonderful cream with a crimson center, with full, dark foliage underneath. I prefer their scent to that of a stargazer. It's a little more subtle, muskier, nice! I got mine from Brent & Becky's.
Positive	ineedacupoftea	On Oct 16, 2005, ineedacupoftea from Denver, CO wrote: I acquired mine from Scheepers too. -Well recommended. This variety has a great spicey fragrance, and flowers hold well but fade in heat over 85 degrees. All the better if you like pale colors.
Positive	mkjones	On Jun 7, 2005, mkjones from Aurora, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: My first experience with the Orienpet hybrids. Marvellous results--the foliage itself is nicely tall and full....a pretty plant. The bloom is large and spectacular. My first bloom this morning took my breath away. And, I'm not a huge lily fan! John Scheepers, from where I purchased mine, lists its description as, "Soft ivory-yellow blooms with rose-red brushmarks and light raspberry speckles." It's very accurate.
