A standout in fresh floral bouquets and the summer garden, Oriental Lily Josephine features very fragrant, up to 10", light pink flowers with dark pink flecks near the center. The vigorous plants produce up to seven flowers per stem! Oriental Lilies are the lilies that florists favor for summer bouquets and bridal centerpieces. Blooming later in the season than most other lilies, these exotic beauties are truly spectacular in color and flower size. Leave the bulbs in the ground for increased beauty in following years.

These managed to bloom beautifully even though a really late and heavy snow bent them over. They were all a solid pink though, no white or freckling.
