I live in New Zealand and I love taking pictures of flowers & plants, so I thought I'd create a wee picture patch for everyone to enjoy them too.🌻

This is such a pretty oriental lily, my mother in law gave it to me from her garden, but wasn't sure what it was called. Would anyone on here have any idea??🤔😕 @brightcolours @richard.spicer.7906 thanks in advance 👍🌼 #richlyscented #bigblooms #curlypetals #orientallily #bulbs #white

It’s is beautiful. But I’m no help. There are so many of them...

It’s lovely Steph 😍 not sure unfortunately, has quite a unique centre marking by the looks of it. I’ll have a look and see what I can find, but might be difficult as there are lots of cultivars of Lily.

Thanks Rich, I've had a good search too and as @brightcolours Said there are so many different varieties, so it could be difficult to pin point exactly what it is. Thank you anyway :) @richard.spicer.7906

Ah no worries - If your MIL can remember where she might have bought it from, it might be possible to contact them and find out what they’ve stocked over the last few years, but I guess it depends how long she’s had it. Not sure if this is helpful, but the RHS in the UK holds the international lily register, they last published a complete cultivar list online in 2007, so some of the descriptions might prove useful perhaps?

Thanks @richard.spicer.7906 I'll have a look through there because the only one I can see that looks remotely familiar to this one is called Oriental Lilium Signum, but I'll have a good look through that it will be a very interesting read! I love lilies ❤👌👍
