The 'Cadillac' of the lilium fleet. These l.Gloriosoides grow freely on a creekbank under pine and gum trees, about 900 ft above sea level at 'Glenbrook Bulb Farm' at Abbottsfield-Sth Tasmania. They are pollinated every 2nd year, and seeds are promised well in advance [next years' should there be any' are already spoken for]. Many seeds have already been sent around the world in hope that the species thrives.
