I am now convinced I must try Robina. I hope it holds it color decently.

Mine is planted in part shade.That works here.I have Satisfaction in mid to late sun and it bleaches out from the time it opens.
As color goes I believe Satisfaction and Robina are very similar.

Satisfaction also quickly bleaches out for me too. But I keep it because it is a sturdy lily and persisted for years while others have come and gone.

I am trying a similar OT from the Lily Nook-- 'Kiss of Fire'. It is on the west side of the house and in shade until the sun comes around at about 2 or so in the afternoon. It is supposed to be quite red (from its photos, yeah!).

That African Lady is Stunning! I bought Kiss of Fire from B&D for fall planting. According to them it starts out red and then it starts to turn a dark reddish black color as the flowers age. We shall see!

'Kiss of Fire' looks very pale here compared to its pictures. In its third year here, personally not impressed, but am giving it another year to prove itself. We'll see...

I'm am very much testing these dark purple/ pink ones. Do they show the color as represented?

Robina came to me virused from a good source, and I have not tried it again. Pictures here make me think it might be worth it.

Robina really is fantastic. Sorry to hear that Kiss of Fire turned out that way for you, Mags. Sounds like a candidate for a certain garden of mine Whistling

I read from a certain vender they wouldn't sell that one because of it's reference to the seedier side of life but that looks quite fresh and innocent to me.

It's hard for a breeder to keep coming up with more lily names. At least he didn't name it Lap Dance Hilarious! .

I read that is a L. nepalense hybrid, how difficult is it to grow?

Brian ~ I wonder if that is the same vendor that wouldn't sell 'Push Off'... Lost sales for them because I bought both.

Yes Moby it would be that same vendor. I don't know about anybody else but my first thought of "Push Off" referred to a boat leaving the dock. Maybe I'm just too naive or old. Blinking
Anthony, I don't think that bulb would even make it to the front door.

Brian, I thought the same with 'Push Off'. 'Kiss of Fire' sounds like a fire-breathing-dragon. So maybe I am naive too. The one name that I have really been not too fond of is 'Arsenal'. I would think the naming part would be most fun, but that's just me.
