  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Feb 4, 2012 6:48 PM concerning plant:
    This unique lilium is an epiphyte, growing in humus enriched detritus of tree branch crooks in northern Burma. Flowers have apple green petals.
    Jefferson-Brown and Howland postulate this species' pollen could be used to hybridise w/ other species of this group potentially producing range of green tinted lilies.
