| Posted by Lucius93 (Croatia - Zone 9a) on Apr 4, 2021 12:12 PM The darkest form of lilium speciosum named after Hirotaka Uchida who selected it and, alongside his eldest son, protected it during the war years in Japan. It grows up to 1,2 metres with several beautiful medium sized scented flowers. This selection is the most commonly found in commerce now. [ Reply to this comment | |
| Posted by Cantillon (Europe - Zone 9a) on Aug 25, 2014 6:03 PM Lilium Speciosum ‘Uchida’ is a pleasant pink flower. Some are lighter than others, and I think I like the light pink the most. I see some variation in the different bulbs. [ Reply to this comment | |
