Sun Valley Group: Lane DeVries' Favorite Lily? African Lady
June 17, 2014 | 1 min to read
Lane DeVries knows a thing or two about lilies. Sun Valley has been growing stunning lilies of all shapes, sizes and varieties for decades. Last fall, while writing an article about our big and bold OT Hybrid Lilies, I asked Lane what is his favorite lily. This was sort of like asking a parent which of their children is their favorite, but Lane surprised me and answered without hesitation.
"African Lady."
At the time we didn't have any of these OT Hybrids in the ground. "OT" stands for Oriental Trumpet and these lilies have been bred to bring a more diverse color palette to the wonderful world of Oriental lilies.
African Lady is now being harvested on our farm, and all I can say is WOW! I sat down with Lane quickly to get some more details on this outrageous lily.
