‘Golden Belles’ Asiapet Hybrid

Description

A very rare cultivation within the states. Reserve your BELLES SERIES NOW
Golden Bells is another T.A. that I had the pleasure of seeing in the fields where it has been growing and monitored under strict conditions. This belle gets only about three feet at most and makes an excellent vertical appeal with the fragrant belles that are semi-dwarf.

Published in The Lily Nook cat., 2009 External images: The Lily Nook cat., 2009 It is not clear whether this lily is the same cultivar as ‘Golden Bell’ registered by C. Yerex in 1983, though that is described as having no spots.

The raspberry reverse has the charm of the stunning amaryllis shaped blossoms.
