A very nice european sp, with its large gleaming orange goblets in june, on fairly short stems, only 20-40 cm's tall. Beware of bulbs sometimes sold as lilium bulbiferum on various nursery websites, they are in fact mostly mislabelled and turn out to be the similar looking hybrid 'orange triumph'. These are the true sp, originally raised from seed by a botanical garden in the north of Switzerland, where this lilium grows natively (in the south part of the country).
