Ok, there are at least three of these suckers out there. Starburst Sensation doesn't count, it is a different name. Interesting that there is no hybridizer mentioned in the register for the tango type version. The entries for both the oriental lily and tango lily state that the cultivar epithet is unacceptable. But the tango lily entry refers back to the Hyde oriental lily. Go figure.

The red tango type lily is widely sold in gardening catalogs, especially Dutch ones.

I would ignore any photos that are in so-and-so's album. One thing I have learned as a moderator is people will order lilies (co-ops are the worst case scenario IMO), get and plant them, then when they bloom it is taken for granted they are what was ordered. My job has been to give them the bad news!!

Janet, LOL on the tango seeds LOL!
