A bright orange Asiatic lily, it is one of the easiest to grow and earliest to bloom. We grow three or four different types successfully. Unfortunately the deer love the blossoms so depending on their activity we sometimes miss many of the blossoms. One large pregnant doe has recently been regularly moseying through the garden just eating flowers and strawberries. Some years they never touch the lilies, some years they eat them all!
I used a couple of small brushes and a semi-transparent white paint, applying it thicker for the highlights and thinned down for the shadow areas leaving the black background for the darkest lines. The thick petals are sprinkled with an elegant pattern of small black spots.
