are broader, the stems seldom have more than one flower, stems very sturdy, a foot 
or two high. The broadly spreading flowers have more substance. They grow

locality where it grows to the exclusion of others.

leaves in many circles. The bell-shaped (lowers are strung airily in long

Recurva is as beautiful in color as any lily.
