'Arena' is a gorgeous cultivar. The blooms have a sweet fragrance. Like most lilies, they are incredibly easy to grow, and also easy to propagate from bulb scales. I started with 5 bulbs that I bought at Lowes last year, and now have close to twenty viable bulb scales rooted in individual containers. I look forward to having a mass of Arenas in 2-3 years when the new bulbs have matured.

This is a very handsome lily. It has a greenish yellow throat. It has deep red spots on a mainly white flower petal. Midveins are raised and yellow/green. The petal has dark red brush strokes. The nectaries are dark purple and the pollen orange. Very handsome. One of my absolute favorites. Unfortunately, a lot of "Arena" sold today are misidentified by the growers.
