Lilium ‘Stargazer’ (The Stargazer Lily)
We have day lilies (Hemerocallis), tiger lilies (Lilium lancifolium), and a few Asiatic lilies in our yard and they are all beautiful in their way. They are mostly orange, although we have a few yellow day lilies. Although they were formerly considered to be in the same family as lilies, day lilies are not even in the same order any more. Anyway, I group them together in my mind, because they have somewhat similar flowers and of course the names are a link.
This flower, though, stands alone (in our yard, anyway). It is so different in terms of color that it seems less like the other true lilies than do the day lilies. It’s currently growing in a pot but we’ll be planting it when we get a chance. At least that’s the theory. We really need a small patch of these, not just one, but one thing at a time.
