Dear Friends, I read the newest 'Bulb Garden'* with interest as always, especially the cover article on Quarryhill Gardens and Chinese lilies, but was sort of surprised to miss mention of Lilium rosthornii. This is apparently rather uncommon in nature and some literature references suggest it is simply a form of the closely related L. henryi. Mine just happens to be blooming now and I wonder how widely this is grown. I got mine directly from China a few years ago and it has slowly developed into a few blooming stems. Appreciate comments from liliophiles. Best Jim W. * The Bulb Garden is the official publication for members of the Pacific Bulb society NOT members of this list which has the same name.
