swooningly fragrant-- that is exciting!!! Put that one on my list.
OOH! Lovely! Exquisite! To swoon no less. What a color... must research and see if it will grow in my garden! Wondrous photos!
We ordered these from Brent and Becky's this spring and the height and blooms have been fantastic, especially for the their first year. We combined them with Lady Alice in the same hole just for fun. Queen bloomed first. What a stunner!

What a gorgeous lily -- and fragrant too. Hmmm. One to investigate. :) I especially like the 1st and 3rd images. The lighting is just perfect in the first and I love the color of the lilies with the salvia in the last shot. Thank you for sharing these lovely pictures!
I love all the lillies, If I could I would have one of each!! I need to take more time in gardens to mark the names1
Thank yoou
