Several years ago I purchased seeds for this plant from the online catalog at Monticello (aka Thomas Jefferson's home). This year, my first "baby" bloomed and I was amazed by its beauty. Though still young, with only one large bloom, it lasted and lasted in our summer heat. I cannot wait for its siblings to bloom next year, and to collect the seeds from this year's bloom. I want more of these in my garden!

I am thrilled to report that I rescued my Formosan/Philipine lily from a nearby bar ditch before the mowers made their cut!
I potted up a good root system & overwintered lily in greenhouse. It bloomed, made a bundle of seeds. These seeds were planted outside greenhouse later and made a beautiful plant loaded with white, Easter Lily like blossoms. So refreshing to have them bloom in the hotest part of summer. July-September 2005.
Try it, you will love it!
Thank you, DG friends, for lovely pictures of your lily!
