Lilies: Philippine Lily Philippino Lily?, 1 by violabird

K, just got back from my friend's home where we went thru his notes (stuck in the Southern Living Garden Lily page). He got his orginal lily from a small local nursery. The grower had told him that it was a Formosa hybrid, (called Philippeen or Philippeno, he thinks). The blooms are pristine white (no streaks or splotches), usually 1 or 2 the first year & grow 3-5', the 2nd & following years they get taller and have more blooms. They bloom in August down here and his brother and neighbor have had the same results.. He had looked them up in the new Southern Living Garden Book and they did show a pure white flower listed as a Formosa hybrid, I saw it today myself.

So, we now have a pure white Formosa hybrid, right? Can it be listed in our PlantFiles now, and if so how?

Here is a (lightened up) photo of the seeds:
