    Most of the petals on this pretty and dainty lily have strong recurve, but sometimes they are more flat, reminiscent of a butterfly in flight.

    An exquisite, healthy Aurelian hybrid lily by Mak. Although not fragrant, the flowers have beautiful coloration and wonderful texture provided by the numerous raised papillae. This is a charming and memorable cottage garden lily.
