"Orienpet" Hybrid Lilies -- page 1, page 2, page 3

Why can flower color vary in Orienpets? Because of their complex ancestry and the interaction of many pigments, Orienpet lilies often have more intensely colored flowers in cooler weather. Heat and bright light can lighten their colors. The same stem of ‘Smoky Mountain’ may have some flowers heavily washed in red, with just a touch of gold near the edges, and golden flowers with a light watercolor wash of red.
The “Orienpets” are relatively new to the lily world, produced after years of efforts to combine the sublime beauty of the Oriental lilies with the more garden persistent, heat tolerant and colorful Trumpet and Aurelian hybrids.

‘Quintessence’ (Columbia-Platte) (on the cover of this year's printed catalog) has heavy cream-yellow petals and more suffused, soft rose “kaleidoscope” encircling its golden throat.  It is especially tall, too, with strong stems reaching 7 feet in our fields!  Heavily fragrant. Mid July.
