Smaller species lily, native to eastern Asia. Narrow grassy leaves, and fragrant red flowers. Late to return in spring. From many sowings through the years, I have yet to get a flowering plant. The one at top right is several years old; perhaps it will bloom this year.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
