This beautiful Strahm hybrid varies in color depending on light conditions. In sun, it exhibits a red accent along the veins. Paler blooms result from shade or cloudy conditions.

There appears to be more than one similar lily sold as "Italia". I would say jmorth's is the correct one, most closely matching the description in the International Lily Register. The other one I have seen has a much larger yellow area in the center of the bloom and a lot more spots extending outward.

A selection from hybridizer Lisa Hunt's (aka buggycrazy) Queen strain of highly spotted Oriental lilies.

Hybridized by Lisa Hunt (aka "Buggycrazy). She describes this lily as heat and sun tolerant. Cooler temperatures or light shade will produce deeper color. Not registered.

If your summers are hot, you should plant this pretty lily in part shade to reduce fading.

This is one of those hard to identify Oriental lilies. Many others are very similar. According to the registered description, this lily should have bright green midribs on the outside of the petals.

This lily is unusual in that it is a very rare sport of the orienpet lily Scheherazade.

This is an old Asiatic cultivar that has been used a lot in ongoing hybridization.

This lovely lily can be variable in color (yellow to white) depending on temperature, light, and age of bloom. One trait that assists in identification is the upfacing position of the blooms.

A purplish edge may form as the bloom ages.
