Hello, William!
I got no name for the Lilium in the picture. As a matter of fact, what I have purchased locally are all nameless asiatic and oriental Liliums (or what I thought until minutes ago they are). I bought the bulbs in a pack of five, marked as usual: 5 pink oriental Liliums. There are only two commercial Lilium bulb importers for gardeners in Chile and both distribute them in HomeDepot-like stores, either in packs of 5 bulbs (with very little peat and usually already sprouting) or as potted blooming Liliums. Orientals are all labeled either 'pink' or 'white' and asiatics also include yellow orange and red(dish). Planted in small pots and with blooms I have purchased what I have identified as 'tiny Padhye' here at ATP. I suppose these importers do not label them with their proper names to void paying royalty rights, or to save money on having just one type of label printed
Since I joined ATP, I have learned that the little I knew about Liliums is .... worth nothing and that I have to re-learn everything (and I am eager to do so). If you tell me the Lily in my picture is not an oriental Lilium, I am willing to change my switch. As I said before, this is the info provided by the importer and not by an expert.
I googled 'Robinia' images, and many of the pictures match my Lily. Thanks for giving my 'baby' her name.
It's already dark, so tomorrow I will take a picture of this Lilium's foliage (not totally wilted) and post it here.
This Lily blooms with much paler flowers when planted under dappled shade than when it gets sun, as you can see from these pictures:
You are right, Chile produces large crops of 'cut flower Liliums' but, as with so many other crops, most of the best are exported. I do not visit cut flower shops at all, but what you see on Supermarkets are all asiatic lilies (now I have to ask: are they true asiatics? no longer sure
).
One thing I can tell you for sure: I'm hooked into Lilies!
