. Rare Florida flowers and fruits. Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs. BUTTERFLY LILY. Climbing Lily. The Oloriosa Superba. A very rare and extremely showy plant of the Lily family, sub-climbing in habit, and requiring a light trellis for support. Under favorable circumstances it will attain a height of 6 to 8 feet and bloom profusely the entire summer. Flowers axillary, in racemes at the ends of the stems, which bear leaves remarkable in having tendril-like apices. The flowers bear as close a resemblance to Lilium Philadelphicum as to almost any other form, are curiously shaped, the pe- tals narrow, turned back and up, erect, deeply undulate, and of a rich orange and red color. Should be grown in a pot of light, sandy soil, with good drainage, giv- ing plenty of heat and moisture in sum- mer. As the growth ripens in fall, water should be gradually withheld, and dur- ing winter the soil must be kept quite dry and the pots in awarm place (a closet, for instance).
