I've had this lily around as long as I can remember, going back at least twenty years. I can't remember for sure where I got it, except possibly from one of the older mail order nurseries like Henry Fields, Gurney's or even Jackson & Perkins. Although it is nothing exceptional, I keep it because in "my eyes" it is gorgeous, is fragrant and pulls through some of the worst weather extremes. (Including this blistering heat & drought!) I have a hard time discarding anything unless it's dead. After all these years I simply call it an unknown rubrum hybrid since it looks something like the species rubrum. It has grown to seven (7) feet in good years with 8 to 10 large outward/downward facing flowers. I'm posting it here where more knowledgeable heads than mine might know something about it. If so, it would be nice to know after 20 years.
