          Hiya zenj, it is Fat Domino....yes the red one. It is a vigorous grower but not invasive so give it some space......a metre in its first year. I will divide it every 3 years to keep compact and have more plants. I also grow others like Orangefield and Blackfield with slightly slimmer flowers. :)

                              I was given bulbils of this a few years ago and since then I've been able to give many away. This picture is of bulbils in their second season of growth - welcome to Lilium lancifolium.............
