Lilium wallichianum

Lilium wallichianum is an Asian species of bulbous plants in the lily family native to the Indian Subcontinent and to Myanmar.

Each stem bears up to four trumpet-shaped flowers, white to creamy-yellow, held horizontally and up to 20 cm (7.9 in) across.

[9] A fairly difficult species to grow successfully in the garden, it requires a moist slightly acidic soil with excellent drainage.

The species prefers light dappled shade and blooms very late in the season.

The species was named for Dr. Nathaniel Wallich (1786 – 1854), Danish plant hunter, botanist and physician.
