Hey, Bear, do you mean 'Purple de Oro'? It is a registered name for a purple diploid. That name, derived from 'Stella de Oro' drives me crazy, since 'Stella de Oro' means 'Star of Gold', and 'Purple de Oro' means 'Purple of Gold'....total nonsense name! We see it a lot at local garden centers around town.

Names don't bother me much if the flower is likeable, and if the name isn't an unfortunate epithet - - > per the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants – Eighth Edition (“ICNCP”: October 2009; Scripta Horticulturae, Number 10). Though it is sometimes surprising how very many may skirt past those standards.

Yes Bob that's what I was referring to. Spelling has never been a strong point of mine and I was in a hurry and didn't look it up. By the way my name is Brian.

Hi susan. I'm new here and I just wanted to say that your Nordic Night is beautiful and can you please tell me what the other pretty pink lily is behind it ??? That one looks gorgeous next to the Nordic Night .... I would love to to have both of them in my garden someday ...Thank you melissa

Welcome Melissa. The pink lily is 'Cote d' Azur'). It's an Asiatic.
