I don't know this one, W, but I like the idea of a climbing lily! Can you post pics when its mature? How long will I have to wait?? lol!! :))

Lol K, i'm a bit impatient with this one too, it's not a true lily as they've moved it from that genus to another .. colchium group i think in 2007, it could be flowering next year if i'm lucky... fingers crossed :-))

That's right SL - it is a member of the Colchicaceae family (the same as Gloriosa).
