Lilium regale

I may have mentioned this before, but I love lilies (my favorite non-orchid plants), and I'm trying to collect as many as I can this year. This trumpet lily species is a classic, with a baby powder-like scent that fills the entire garden with freshness and enchantment. It has performed well from a newly-purchased bulb this spring, reaching 3' in height and producing five full-sized flowers.
