    There seems to be some confusion between 'Nightrider' and Lily (Lilium 'Night Flyer'). It is important to note that 'Nightrider' is generally up-facing with about 6 flowers, where as 'Night Flyer' is out to down facing with 15 to 25 flowers.

    Night Rider has the coolest growing habit and foliage I've ever seen on a lily. (see the photos I posted) It kind of reminds me of a spider or unusual daylily bloom. A really long one that looks like it's dancing. This lily is beautiful even before it blooms.
