From Jim Waddick:
L. lancifolium 'Flore-Pleno' Double Tiger Lily This is an old
cultivar that dates to at least 1870. Garden visitors and various in-print
reviewers consider this an oddity, attractive or an abomination. Most people
who see it in life like it, but it may definitely be an acquired taste in
beauty. I grow two clones. Both are 'hose-in-hose' type double flowers and
fairly symmetrical in form. These bloom a week to 10 days to 2 weeks apart,
but if both are in bloom at the same time, garden visitors usually prefer
one to the other. I think differences are slight.
1. Bulbils of a form from Ellen Hornig's Seneca Hill Perennials. I have
plants in full sun and light shade. They are vigorous and free blooming. She
states that plants were from road side escapees growing in New York state.
2. Bulbils of a form from Paige Woodward of Pacific Rim Native Plants. Her
bulbs originate from Pradhan in Northern India and they grow in sun and are
equally vigorous and free blooming. It makes fewer bulbils than Ellen's and
fewer are available.
3. Helicodiceros muscivorus , the 'Dead Horse Arum'. An aptly name
(surprisingly) aroid of Mediterranean origin. I have grown and bloomed this
in a pot for years, but also have a small plant surviving in my garden for
about 3 or 4 years. One of these years it will be a mild enough winter, the
plant will bloom outdoors and my neighbors will descend on my garden in
complaint. Oddly it has also crept out of the bottom of its pot during
winter storage in a cool greenhouse and grows in the gravel floor, too.
Supposedly Zone 7 and warmer, with global warming it is worth trying in a
hot dry part of the garden for its incredible odd 'architectural' foliage
alone. Only a few small tubers.
4. Small bulbbs of Lachenalia "Orange CV." This was bought years ago as
a pot of orange, large - flowered Lachenalia. It seems allied to L.
quadricolor, but selected for large numerous flowers. Easy in a cool
greenhouse.
