Earlier this spring I posted a picture of one of my lily beds that needs to be divided. Here is that same bed putting on quite a show!

From a distance this lily, 'Cathedral Windows', might be overlooked as just another orange lily. It's quite remarkable when viewed up close!

This lily has blushed buds which results in more color on the reverse of the petals. Asiatic: 'Orania'

I found it as a set of packaged bulbs at a local gardening center this past spring. I never know what to expect when buying packaged bulbs, but I do like this one!
