A truly lovely species lily that has shown remarkable heat and drought tolerance during the summer of 2012, quite the contrary to everything I have read about this species in books. My bulbs, planted in autumn 2011, have now been in bloom for almost a month and still have buds left to open. Color is beautiful and the fragrance is out of this world--light, sweet, delicious, wafting and totally addictive. I planted my bulbs quite deeply--8-10 inches deep--but I am still seeing signs of above ground stem bulblet formation. Hopefully that is the start of a thriving colony! I look forward to seeing how these beauties perform next year.
