A magnificent lily.
"Champagne is slightly fertile and with Zeus as her pollen parent she has some Pink Tiger in her background giving her a good fragrance, not as strong as the Trumpets or Orientals, but much stronger than the LA hybrids. She has exquisite buff petals, with pink, peach and yellow tones, a dark pink-red reverse and a high bud count. Blooms are outfacing with an upward tilt." (Buggy Crazy).
