Oriental lilies are one of those flowers that come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Plantsmen have bred them to the point where the differences between named varieties are often difficult to distinguish. Yet the public's desire for the flowers seems unquenchable. I am not blind to their attractions. Given the right colours in the right setting - the background to the blooms matters - the flowers can be appealing. But, on the whole, I find the the oriental lily just a bit "too much". Subtle, they are not, as these pink example demonstrate.
