Oriental Lily Bulbs - Stargazer

Head turner in the hood

I live in the city. While our neighborhood gardeners in my area are completely hooked on native plants and snort in disdain at imports such as these lilies, the fragrance they offer to dog walkers and other pedestrians and the eye-catching beauty can't be matched. They come back every year. But I have to spray them to keep the urban tanks (white tailed deer) from munching on the closed flower buds, and that fragrance is akin to rotten eggs. But once the flower has completely opened, the deer leave them alone.
