This lily is doing well in my garden in zone 5a, multiplying well. It is a yellowish white with dark markings.

My Centerfolds struggled thru their first year and did not return. Did I not take good enough care of them? Were they poor quality bulbs? I don't know but with so many orienpets which seem to do better in my garden, I will not bother again with Centerfold. A very pretty flower.

Although the lily will grow here it is not a sturdy lily and certainly not a show stopper. It will die out in an extremely harsh winter.

Interesting markings on this otherwise uninteresting lily.
