Lilies of China

Dear Friends,
I read the newest 'Bulb Garden'* with interest as always,
especially the cover article on Quarryhill Gardens and Chinese
lilies, but was sort of surprised to miss mention of Lilium
rosthornii. This is apparently rather uncommon in nature and some
literature references suggest it is simply a form of the closely
related L. henryi.

Mine just happens to be blooming now and I wonder how widely
this is grown. I got mine directly from China a few years ago and it
has slowly developed into a few blooming stems.

Appreciate comments from liliophiles. Best Jim W.
