Red Dutch: what is it?

17 years ago

I saw someone on this forum growing a lily called Red Dutch last year. Even though I planted a bazillion other lilies last year, when I saw this in the store today I caved, (hardly even struggled, actually). I am planning a new "hot" color bed and this electric color combination should be great.

But what class is it? Is it an Orienpet? DoesnÂt look flat enough. Asiapet?

Here is a link that might be useful: a catalog picture

I'm pretty sure it is an orienpet.
However, plantfiles (dave's garden) defines it as division 8- other hybrids.
Don't know the parentage on this one.

Here's my Red Dutch, it is classified as a Orienpet OT.

Sharon, it was probably yours that I saw that made me want this! I remember doing a search for sources and not finding it in the US. I did not pursue it because I had already planted so much by then. What a surprise yesterday to see it at Walmart, of all places. It was in my cart before I could exhale.

I only have one other Orienpet, Honeymoon. But that has a flatter face and a lot of edge ruffling that looks more Oriental. ThatÂs why I was wondering about Red Dutch.
