A new series of hardy garden lilies that combines the garden trumpet (Aurelian) lilies with the Asiatic lilies. They bloom just after the latest Asiatic lilies and have a slight fragrance in the garden. The Canadian Belles series are noted for their good disease resistance to Botrytis and Fusarium. These new cultivars require no special winter protection. This new series of lilies originated from the Morden Research Centre team of Lynn Collicutt and Wilbert G. Ronald. 'Blushing Belles' Lily - Lynn Collicutt and Wilbert G. Ronald - This upfacing lily has greyed-purple shading to greyed-orange blooms that appear to have a metallic sheen. The flower width is 12.5 cm, the stigma colour is purple and the stigma extends 2 cm further than the anthers. Mature plant height is 80-90 cm. The lily is an F1 hybrid with some female fertility. 'Creamy Belles' Lily - Lynn Collicutt - A visual delight with cream petals and sepals, yellow at the inside base of the flowers and the exteriors are purple. The flowers are facing out and up and have a width of 13 cm. The purple coloured stigma extends 2 cm further than the anthers. Mature plant height is 80-90 cm.
