Comment

"Oriental hybrids were mostly derived from Lillium auratum and Lillium speciosum. These beautiful plants range in height from 2 to 8 feet. They produce huge flowers up to a foot across. The pleasantly scented blossoms are borne in late summer. They are bowl-shaped with recurving petals. They come in white, pinks, deep reds, and bicolors. These are great for growing in containers, but may need staking because of their size." from Botany.com.

"Oriental lilies have very large outward facing flowers and are very scented. They need an acid soil." from Broadleigh Gardens.

"Probably the best white Oriental Lily available- large vivid white flowers with a fresh lime green throat and dark orange anthers. The petals are slightly recurved and have slightly waved at the edges. Height: to 90cm (36")." from R. V. Roger.

"As soon as the foliage dies back, dig bulbs and remove scales, bulbils and offsets from bulb; immediately replant. " from Rainy Side Gardeners.

"Set amongst the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, this 60 acre, private woodland garden (Evenley Wood Garden) offers a huge variety of plants ranging from trees, shrubs and climbers, to a wide selection of bulbs, including a substantial collection of lilies."
