Have Oriental Lily Stargazer and Altari
Comments (5)Woodthrush, Might you be interested in 6 very nice sized bulbs of Red Rascal Daffodil for 2 of your Altari? It is Holland bred, RHS registered 2Y-R (yellow petals with red trumpet) and it is a mid season, standard height daff. lmk...Thanks Sue...chemocurl...See MoreIs a Stargazer Lily an Amaryllis?
Comments (11)Our Walmart had a small display of huge, bagged bulbs. Stargazer was one of the varieties. The picture did not show the entire bloom like White Flower Farm does. It looks a lot like Minerva, except the red is richer and there appears to be more red in the deepest part of the eye zone. We'll see... I don't need another Minerva or even a Minerva look alike, but if it has better color, that would be great!...See MoreWhat are these leaf growths on my Stargazer?
Comments (3)As you suspect they're bulbils. Whilst only a few lilies (some asiatic hybrids, tigrinum, sargentiae, etc.) produce stem bulbils all the time, most can be stimulated to produce a few if the stem is stressed - such as by the removal of young flower buds....See MoreI'm after a lily with similar fragrance to the trumpet lily.
Comments (2)Casablanca and Muscadet are both Oriental Hybrid Lilies, like Stargazer, and so will have a similar fragrance. I'm not sure what you mean by "christmas lilies". (Amaryllis perhaps?) A lot of flowers have the word "lily" appended to them that are not lilium. All true lilies have 6 petals, except the more recent double flowered (which have 12) so there are no star shaped ones. The Easter Lily, Lilium Longiflorum, and its hybrids with Orientals, the LO's, such as Triumphator (among others) have a fairly strong scent but not as spicy as the Orientals. The smell seems a little "tropical". It's really quite pretty. Actual Trumpet lilies such as Regale, Pink Perfection, Midnight, etc., have a very strong scent and are probably not what you are looking for. -Helen...See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
