| 'Purple Lady' Giant Orienpet Lily |
She is beautiful, fragrant and a total surprise to those who discover her growing casually near the road.
Last fall I purchased 6 bulbs, planted them and hoped for the best. We have lots of critters in our garden and limited sun.
I suspect that voles, shrews and/or mice devoured two of the bulbs. The good thing is they didn't eat four of them!
These handsome plants are a cross between an oriental lily and a trumpet lily thus the unusual name.

Four plants emerged in spring and produced these fabulous 7 foot high clusters of fragrant flowers.

Each plant has a cluster of five to ten very showy large flowers at the top of the stem.
Each flower is at least 8 inches in diameter with a delightful fragrance.
It's hard to imagine a showier more sweetly scented summer bloomer than this terrific Lily!
