Always wanted to grow that.
23 Aug '09 3:42 pm I think it is called a Gloriosa lilly. Officially it is called Gloriosa superba 'Rothschildiana'. In the U.S. it is only recommened in San Diego and Hawaii. In Berkeley, California I've never seen it for sale .. or I would've given it a try. Thanks for the photo.
