May I ask where you purchased this beautiful specimen?

Hi! I purchased from B&D lilies in Washington state. This is a seed strain so coloration/intensity can vary. I bought three of them and this was the darkest purple one. The other two were a lighter in color. So you could say it is a crap shoot on whether you get a good dark one. I was fortunate!

Thank you for your reply! I love growing from seeds , so i think I'll try my luck.

I ordered three more from B&D, will report back when they bloom next year.
