I paid a couple of dollars for this lily from B and D Lilies and took part on their research on how this lily perform in different gardens across the US. This picture is taken just a few minutes ago prior to writing this post. I planted this lily in a spot where it receives about 3.5 hours sunshine, from around 9 AM-12:30 PM as they recommend afternoon shade.
The bulb that I got is on the small side so I did not expect to get a lot of blooms. I am lucky I got two buds from it. Anyway, comparing these pics on B and D's site , they are very different from each other.
Davyd, described as fluffier than 'Miss Lucy' (I think it is the first double flowered Oriental.) in terms of blooms. I never get to see that "fluffier bloom". The growing condition is similar to Distant Drum. I planted them one foot apart from each other. Click here for Davyd pic.
I am not going to try another double flowered Oriental in my garden. I will stick to OTs and other lilies on different divisions.
The above pics will be send to B and D lilies for their research.

They're really different and I think I like yours a lot better than the one at the B and D site. Pretty cool that you got to participate in this study of how it performs.
Thanks. Yea, it is a cool looking lily, I agree.
STUDY is the right word. :) Please do excuse my English, it is my second language. :)
Your lily is stunning! Much better thanB and D's. Welcome to Blotanical!
Hi Lily, You have such wonderful lilies all over your blog, they are making me dizzy. I'm beginning to feel crazy over lilies too. Currently I only have the rain lilies.
Thank you. I am real crazy about lilies. I have a lot more varieties that are not posted in my blog. I have no time to add more posts right now. Thank you for stopping by.
Yours is a stunner ... absolutely gorgeous. I would be very happy if I had it growing in my garden!
Thank you Bernie and thanks also for the visit. :)
