Lilium 'Nerone'

It's a great colour though~ my lilies are all in pots and they are coming on well but not yet in flower~I have this one and one called Elodie which is a lovely pink.Plus a selection I bought from Avon bulbs at the Cardiff show and lost the labels of so that should be a surprise when they flower!

Not black but it is beautiful ..........

Gorgeous....mine are just coming into flower.

Arlene, you didn't see many of my lilies, as they are up outside the greenhouse. I grow them in pots as well - then pop a pot into the border as they flower! Magic! Instant flowers! I went a bit mad this year....too many, really.

~Ahh! I have a whole row against the fence and when they are in flower the smell is lovely on the air~you can't have too many!~ at the moment I have honeysuckle which is another favourite.

My husband wouldn't agree with you! He doesn't like the rows of pots....

~hmm ~ I have one of those too! They don't realise it's the only way to maximise your space!

I had one called Blackout and it turned out a colour similar to this. Lovely anyway.

Beautiful Spritz, i have 'Dimention' that is very simular to this... that is also discribed as near black but is acutally more burgandy/red.... i do believe the deepest coloured lily that you can get is 'Landenii' (not sure if spelt right) it is an oriental, and it is almost black, but i have only ever seen it as a cut flower.

Thanks Angie - I'll look out for that in the autumn.

i have been after it for a while so if you find some let me know where please, and i'll do the same ;-)

Pretty.
