I don't know this lily even though I look at it daily. I know it is NOT Lollipop, which is a lot more white with pointed pink tipped petals, and it is not an oriental. I've noticed that the color changes somewhat in the bright sun.

It came in a bag from Costco containing an assortment of pink and dark pink asiatics. As time was fleeting and my back was killing me, I put all the bulbs in a 35 gallon plastic container on my deck, raised up about a foot.

There are 3 plants like this that have started to bloom. The rest all have buds but will obviously bloom when they feel like it. I cannot wait to see the rest of the variety. I think there were 18 in all. It's like being in labor and delivery to see what we get. While it is nice to know the cultivar, if you're not looking to buy more or competing, just sit back and enjoy. If I want to buy more based on the name, if it's not from the same reseller, it generally does not resemble my expectation. Even the stargazers that you posted can vary greatly.

Usually the Costco bulbs are well identified, and in any case I've never been disappointed.
