Very beautiful and durable lily, one of my favourites. They have the longest blooming season here of all lilies due to high bud count. Great for beginners.
For me one of the most beautiful trumpet lilies and for sure the favourite trumpet selection. Even in bud stage this lily is gorgeous. Since it's a strain, the color can vary but it's usually purplish/brownish hue. I was fortunate enough to get the dark ones. The scent is intense so I do not recommend keeping it indoors because it can cause nausea and headaches.
The most resistant lily in the world and also one of the easiest to grow and propagate. It should be kept away from other lilies because the majority (if not all) of them are infected with viruses.
Second generation nepalense hybrid. According to some sources, this is nepalense x OT and not nepalense x oriental (which is probably true). It has very strong stems which can easily support big flowers. Light scent. I am impressed that this lily and its color can withstand very high temperatures without fading quickly.
Currently one of only two double OT lilies on the market. It has a nice scent. In hot areas, it should be protected from the afternoon sun because otherwise the color will fade quickly.
A truly beautiful lily created from the popular 'Kushi Maya'. It has the largest flowers I have ever seen in lilies (30+ cm). It is much more resistant to heat and other weather conditions than Kushi, but it should be provided with shade during the afternoon heat to make the flowers last longer. Wind protection is also desirable as huge flowers can break easily during strong winds. It smells nice during the evening and morning hours.
This lily has everything you need: a nice scent, strong stems and vividly colored flowers. It has beautiful umbel shape inflorescence. Without a doubt one of the best and favourite lilies I had and I would recommend it to everyone.
I got this lily by accident 4 years ago and I immediately liked it the first time it opened its big, pink flower with a strong scent. No support is needed because the stems are extremely strong. One of the few pink lilies whose flower does not fade at high temperatures. I recommend it to everyone.
This lily has a heavenly scent. It is slightly shorter than most OT hybrids. It should be placed in partial shade as the color can fade quickly in full sun.
There seems to be some confusion between 'Nightrider' and Lily (Lilium 'Night Flyer'). It is important to note that 'Nightrider' is generally up-facing with about 6 flowers, where as 'Night Flyer' is out to down facing with 15 to 25 flowers.
The color of L. bolanderi is variable. The RHS Lily Register describes it as being a deep crimson. Less often it can be salmon pink or pale yellow. In his book Lilies: A Guide for Growers and Collectors, Ed McRae describes L. bolanderi as "brick to wine-red". It can be found in the Siskiyou Mountains of northern California and southern Oregon.
The purest white lily in the world with unique fragrance. It forms bulbs at ground level, and, unlike other lilies, grows a basal rosette of leaves during winter. A leafy floral stem emerges in late winter and bears up to 20 flowers. One of my favourite lilies.
This is an unregistered hybrid. If it is ever registered, it will need to be under a different name to avoid a clash with the 1950 Asiatic registration: Lily (Lilium 'Tangelo')
This is an unregistered hybrid. If it is ever registered, it will need to be under a different name to avoid a clash with the 1949 Asiatic registration: Lily (Lilium 'Serenade')
According to the RHS Register, there is some debate over the parentage of the Harlequin Group. It cites J. de Graff from LYB 30:27 (1967) as stating that the original 'Harlequin' was a clone selected from the Mid-Century Group and that the later Harlequin Hybrids/Group was completely unrelated and derived from Lilium cernuum X Lilium davidii.
