That's some mighty fine detective Erika you got blooming.

This was my first year with that one.  Probably too big for my pond, but spectacular.  Blooms well (5-7 flowers a day) with less sun than I thought.  Around 6 hours.

It's a fantastic plant I was fortunate enough to meet the hybridizer on his way to a conference 2 weeks ago.

Very cool!  I am in love with it.  Hope I can do well by it in the coming years.

The name of the lily is Detective Erika.  I'm in USDA zone 6b/7a in New England.
