We've absorbed a lot of these plants into the Asian Collections. Mostly we've spotted them about (tastefully!); they're colorful accents at this period when most of the floral display is over. These two are interesting in their own right. The top plant is semi-double with wonderful coloring. It has a "star" in the floral tube, yellow surrounded by a darker orange than the petals themselves.
H. lilioasphodelus has interesting strappy petals that I find more appealing than those typical of the species.
Someone found it in the Dogwood Collection and I got to see it. It's just nice that animals as beautiful and curious exist and it's one of the perks of our jobs that we occasionally get to see them. You have to love the genus here: Orgy (ia). I don't know, or I'd tell you.
