Re: Tom Pouce
This particular lily is always a favorite here at the nursery. The first year I saw it in catalogs I thought for sure the picture was doctored, but nope, it really is that amazing 
I read somewhere that it got its name from a Dutch pastry that is a pink frosting and a cream filling, called a Tom Pouce. We would call the same thing a Napoleon.

Otnorot,
That's gorgeous too. Tom Pouce is a huge bloom too. I love the thick, study petals. You would almost think they were silk flowers.
Here's another, Altari

Tom Pouce is just beautiful! 
Thanks for sharing a pic of yours. It's my only one that got nipped off by the rabbits this year.

Re: Tom Pouce
I SO wanted to buy the Tom Pounce Lilly when Hallson's had it, but I know I don't have a good sunny spot for it. It really caught my eye every time I saw the photo. Not to mention it's probably scented, and I can't have that.
