Do you know the name of this lily by chance? I bought this lily from Home Depot two years ago and I did not keep the tag. It came back strong and doing really well through Spring and Summer, and I bet it will do well all the way through end of Fall as well. If you
knew the name, kindly reply and I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Your plant is a Curcuma A(?brain fog at the moment), siam tulip, a type of ginger. Did you overwinter it in the ground? Where are you located? Please complete your profile info, so we can better assist you.

Hello Debbie,
Thank you so much for your input. I am located in zone 9a. It is Curcuma Alismatifolia or Curcuma Siam Tulip, which actually is a ginger family as you stated. It is the native to Laos, northern Thailand, and Cambodia. Despite its name, it is not related to the tulip, but to the various ginger species such as turmeric. It can grow as an indoor plant, and is also sold as a cut flower (which I have never seen prior to this). My mistake to be thinking of it as some sort of Lilies, however I am a big Lilies fan, particularly Stargazer, Casablanca, Lily of Niles, Trumpet Lily African Queen, the list goes on. Despite my mistake, I think I am joining the right forum and I shall learn a lot from the folks about Lilies. Thank you again for your help and I really appreciate it.

Christopher
