Positive	TomH3787	On Jul 8, 2006, TomH3787 from Raleigh, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: Quote from Plant Delights catalog: This unique hybrid, named by Dr. Hamilton Traub in 1957, was discovered in a Chinese shipment to Wyndham Hayward of Florida in 1948. L. x haywardii combines the best traits of its parents (L. sprengeri x L. radiata var. pumila). The flower of L. x haywardii resembles that of L. sprengeri except for having more dissected petals (via L. radiata), and more of a magenta-pink flower color. Just as in L. sprengeri, the tip of each petal is bright blue, but the color does not permeate the center of the flower as it does in L. sprengeri. For us, this has been one of the earliest of the surprise lilies with a normal flowering time of July.
