Lilium Baferrari

'Big is Better'. I still hear it often from our American customers. I don't always agree, but sometimes, when 'big' is also breathtakingly beautiful, then they are right. WOW. This really applies to the Baferrari lily. Her flowers are incredibly large and breathtakingly beautiful, they actually look a bit like the wildly popular Lilium auratum. Baferrari is a bit taller and her clear white colour lacks the graceful speckle of the Lilium auratum and the yellow star in her flower shines a bit brighter. Of course, the Lilium auratum has name and fame, but after I have become acquainted with the Baferrari, the choice for me will be difficult when the Lilium auratum will be available again. It will probably end up like it always does when I am in doubt between one or the other: I will plant both.

By the way, if you know where the name Baferrari comes from or what it refers to or what it means, I would love to hear from you. I always like to look up where strange names come from, I just think it is nice to know. But nothing can be found about Bafferari, so if you do know, please let me know.
