Lily ID for a newbie to lilies, please?

16 years ago

Hello, I am quite new to lilies and have inherited some from the previous owner of our house. I am really enjoying them! I would love it if anyone could help me ID this one. I think it is gorgeous. I noticed that it has a completely different leaf formation from all of my other lilies. The leaves are much wider and waxy. The stamens also are different as the pollen dangles off of the ends. The freckles are raised and bristled. Any idea on what her name is? Thank you for your help!

Hi Tracy, this looks like a stargazer lily to me. I just purchased 60 bulbs myself and can't wait to get them growing. They are beautiful aren't they? :O)

Yes, it's a Stargazer. So pretty. I just planted Starfighter this year. It's very similar. It's almost ready to bloom.

No it will not grow from a cutting. If you can import lily "bulbs" then you can propagate from those and from their "scales". I don't know about your quarantine laws but seed may be easier (though you will not get the fancy cultivars to grow true from seed, they are easy enough to grow that way if the seed is very fresh.)

Hymenocallis, but likely a native one. Here is a link that might be useful: Hymenocallis occidentalis

Apparently someone added some new spam to an OLD thread (which has obviously been removed.) Wow, I mean old. Glad the spam's removed, and how cool to see such an old discussion still kicking around. It's even formatted differently. (Putting a fake email addy so this post doesn't cause me to get MORE spam.) My favorite lilies are Lycoris and the Asiatics, like Stargazer.
