A FLORAL CELEBRITY--Lilium Orientalis THE STARGAZER LILY
Often described as one of the most adored of all lily varieties, this was my late wife Carol’s favorite flower in her rock garden. It is a hybrid lily of the Oriental group and was created in 1978 by a California lily breeder.
It gets its name from the tendency of its blooms to face the sky. Quite appropriate in my view; being in the general direction of Heaven in the Christian faith. *Sigh*
