I received this oriental lily in a "Bag of Bulbs" from Botanus in the spring and I wonder if anyone can ID it ?

Lily question & brug bed photo
Another view.
This is a photo of my experimental brug bed (i.e. all in the ground !) They were all cuttings from Liz last fall. Not a huge amount of blooms per plant but taken as a whole, they start to perfume the air around 8 pm. My DH has to come looking for me when it is dark LOL !

Sorry, I can't help with the lily, I only grow two varieties, Stargazer and Casa Blanca.
But your brug bed is looking great. Everyone, everywhere, including me, is complaining this year about few blooms. Hang on for a coupel more weeks I think that cool damp May, June is the culprit. I have always found that late August, September and into October are our best brug blooming months.
Which castor is that? Great color. I ordered some seeds a couple of years ago from Hole's that were supposed to be red but are a blah green. I need a red punch in one of my beds.
Nice lily Heather but I can't help you with an id either. Your brug bed is looking good. It sure has grown up nicely since I saw it last. The castor plant you gave me is growing really well. I really like it. I'd never seen one before. Will it get seeds so that I can grow some next year?

I also ended up with the plain green caster bean one year, Liz, but lucked out this year. .
Sandy , I think we can save the seeds, they are large, about the size of a runner bean. We can share with Liz. LOL !
Okay, I haven't seen any beans growing on my plant yet but I'll keep an eye out for them. LOL Anyhow, I'll be happy to share with Liz.
