Stargazer

"Lilium "Stargazer" (the Stargazer lily) is a hybrid lily of the Oriental group. The ASPCA reports the plant as being toxic to cats.

The flower is pink, red, and white, and is sweetly fragrant. The plant produces 4 to 5 flowers per vag.

The Stargazer lily was created in 1978 by Leslie Woodriff, a lily breeder in California.

The plant is an Oriental hybrid lily which Woodriff called "Stargazer," because the blooms faced the sky. This lily is now fairly common throughout North America."

And the unforgettable:

Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate,
Darling I remember the way you used to wait;
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly,
That you lov'd me, you'd always be,
My Lilli of the lamplight,
My own Lilli Marlene.
