    I was given several bulbs of this lily a couple of years ago. It is earlier and smaller than the stargazer lilies. Doesn't have a fragrance (that I have noticed), and seems to be not bothered at all by the slugs. A big plus in my garden.

    Has multiplied rapidly and always has many blooms.
    Anyone know the name of it?
    Thanks in advance. :stew1:

    I have two that looks like that, and it's either Lollipop or Lilium 'Sorbet', but I'm voting for Lollipop, since Sorbet's colours are a lot softer.

    Thanks Droopy and Stratsmom. After googling those two and looking at all the pics. I agree. It sure is a great little lily.
    I've moved it twice and have never been able to get all the bulbs because it multiplies so fast. It has only been a few years and the numbers have quadripled. I will be able to have stands of them in several places at this rate. ;)
    Glendann I had never seen its like until it bloomed either. Thanks all!
