Think i mismarked another lily. I thought it was Scheherazade but pretty sure it's not. It's a couple years old and only about 3' tall. Would appreciate an ID.

Here's a pic of my known Scheherazade, it's over 6' tall.

I have grown it for a few years now. It is not all that uncommon to get mismarked lilies. Do you recall where you got them?

Your Scheherazade looks correct.

I buy all my tree lilies from Brecks until last year [used the Lily Garden]. Most Asiatic's/Oriental are from big box stores. I usually keep track of all my garden plants but have been screwing up with the Lily's lately. I have about 5 more i'm not sure of. This is another, very tall[ maybe 7'], just started blooming yesterday.

Jim, if you bought from a big box store that is probably where Hotel California came from. I bought from BB store and got correct Hotel California but who knows some may have got inadvertently got stuffed in the wrong labeled bag. It is fairly common. On the other hand I liked it well enough and bought another bag of Hotel California the following year and it too was correct. I lucked out!

Whatever it is its very pretty and i have a few of them spread around the yard. Looked at some pics of Hotel Cal and it looks spot on, Some look more yellow and some more orange. Seems to be very hardy and healthy. I just can't understand how i mislabeled at least 10 lilies. Wife thinks i'm losing it maybe she's right.
