Lilium regale

A wonderful lily with a gripping story of its introduction into cultivation. Ernest “Chinese” Wilson found it in 1903 clinging to rocky precipices in torrent driven gorges of Western Sichuan. Large white trumpets, rose-purple without and a canary yellow throat on long arching stems to 2m covered with scattered leaves. Each producing an overwhelmingly sweet perfume that arrives, without fail, during those heady days of an Aussie Christmas!
