"Orienpet" Hybrid Lilies -- page 1, page 2, page 3

next
Why can flower color vary in Orienpets? Because of their complex ancestry and the interaction of many pigments, Orienpet lilies often have more intensely colored flowers in cooler weather. Heat and bright light can lighten their colors. The same stem of ‘Smoky Mountain’ may have some flowers heavily washed in red, with just a touch of gold near the edges, and golden flowers with a light watercolor wash of red.
The “Orienpets” are relatively new to the lily world, produced after years of efforts to combine the sublime beauty of the Oriental lilies with the more garden persistent, heat tolerant and colorful Trumpet and Aurelian hybrids.
Orienpet hybrid lily 'Quintessence'

‘Quintessence’ (Columbia-Platte) is a special selection from our ‘Luminaries’ Strain, differing from all the others in its heavy cream-yellow petals (rather than icy white) and more suffused, soft rose “kaleidoscope” encircling its golden throat.  Its tall, strong stems reach 7 feet! Mid July.  

QUI Each $15.00 3/$40.00
Orienpet hybrid 'Mother of Pearl'

‘Mother of Pearl’ () has heavy-textured, broad-petalled flowers of shimmering opalescent white, with soft nuances of lemon and peach at its margins if the nights are cool when the flowers open. Its fragrance is sublime, with a honeysuckle scent in summer evenings! 3 to 4 feet and taller, early to mid July.

MOP Each $10.00 3/$27.00
Orienpet lily 'Alchemy'

‘Alchemy’ () is a stunning Orienpet! Its huge, wide-open flowers of deepest red are rimmed with a wide margin of rich coppery gold. This unique, spell-binding combination reminds us of the alchemists’s quest to change metals into gold. Can you picture a bubbling cauldron where fiery molten metals are forming gold at the edge? ‘Alchemy’ will bring magic to your garden, transforming it with long-lasting color and fragrance in mid-July to early August. 3 to 5 feet.

Special price!
ALC Each $10.00 3/$27.00
Orienpet hybrid 'Bravura'

‘Bravura’ (Columbia-Platte) has enormous, slightly pendulous flowers which are pure white outside and the deepest crimson you can imagine inside!  The richly textured tetraploid flowers are as fragrant as they are lovely, and they are borne on sturdy stems which need no staking!  4 feet, early to mid July. 

BVA Each $30.00 3/$85.00
Orienpet lily 'Pizazz'

‘Pizzazz’ () has brilliant orange flowers with shiny red centers. Their more recurved shape, carried on gracefully arching stems, show its L. henryi ancestry. Lush blue-green leaves make a marvelous contrast! A Popularity Poll favorite! 4 to 6 feet and taller, early August.

Special price!
PIZ Each $10.00 3/$27.00
Orienpet lily 'Scheherazade'

Orienpet lily 'Schehezerade'‘Scheherazade’ () is one of the most successful garden plants we have created; this lily is flourishing around the world! Deep red recurved flowers are edged in gold, shading into white margins, and the throat shows the same dramatic color pattern. This was our first “Orienpet” hybrid, and it soon won the Popularity Poll so many times that it is now in the Hall of Fame! This is the hardiest and healthiest of plants, and can easily reach 8 feet or more when established. 4 to 6 feet (first year), mid-August.

25th Anniversary Special extended!
SCH Each $5.50 3/$15.00

 


Orienpet ‘Anastasia’

‘Anastasia’ () has wide open huge white flowers with truly rose pink centers. Cool weather deepens and broadens the wash of pink. This second generation “Orienpet” hybrid is a backcross to the white Oriental ‘Allegra,’ evident in its spur-tipped buds, recurved flowers, spicy fragrance and late season bloom. The long inflorescence carries secondary buds that extend the blooming season. Marvelously fragrant, and a first-place winner in the Popularity Poll! 4 to 6 feet, early to mid August.

ANA Each $12.50 3/$32.00
Orienpet ‘Leslie Woodriff’

‘Leslie Woodriff’, bred by Robert Griesbach, was produced from tetraploid forms of two of Leslie Woodriff’s classic garden lilies: ‘White Henryi’ and ‘Black Beauty.’ It equals its superlative parents in beauty and garden-worthiness, earning it a place in the Hall of Fame after years of topping the Populary Pol! 4 to 6 feet and more, late July to early August.

Special price!
LES Each $7.50 3/$21.00
Orienpet lily 'Grandiose'

‘Grandiose’ () Imagine ‘Stargazer’ with a yellow flower, flushed with red.  Appealing?  We thought so, too!  This lily has huge, fragrant Oriental-style blooms with warm, autumnal colors and late blooms that can take the heat. 4 to 5 feet, late July. 

GRA Each $25.00 3/$70.00
