Mary! Here is the first of your beauties! To be very, very sure, I kept them in pots. So lovely!

Lilium speciosum alba. I did not realize it could have this simple but elegant shape, but I googled it and found a twin.

Mary sent these to me last August when she realized that her season was too short for their bloom, and I popped them into pots, put them in the garage, and watered them with a few ounces of water at the beginning of each month. I used soil conditioner (a product that lowers the ph) and an acid based fertilizer to make sure they would be happy.

Thank you Mary!
