pbs : Lilium formosanum
patty allen (Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:13:44 PDT)

I grow the Lilium formosanum here in Southeast Texas. The tall 6 1/2-8' ones are solid white with a slight variation of white down the center of the outside petal. The ones with the purple stripe on the outside of the petals, only grow to about 3 1/2-4' tall.
I was assuming they were not the same since the coloration on them aren't the same.
Can someone set me straight on this?

Thanks,
Patty Allen

While I was in Taiwan, I replied about the Lilium formosanum that I had
seen,

Dear Tony,
Thanks. This all makes sense. Were you able to get material
of all these types? Purple backed sounds nice.

Terrific. Jim W.
