Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Still not widely available, these double or "rose" Oriental lilies were developed within the last few year. They offer all the positive attributes of the Oriental lily group and more. More petals for a fluffy look and no stamens, which means no pollen. The absence of pollen is a wonderful gift for those with allergies; goodbye sneezing and sniffling. The lack of pollen is a bonus for everyone who has ruined a shirt or blouse with pollen stains.
