Asiatic Lily Third in Set of Three Botanical Illustrations

And here is the lovely Asiatic Lily in this set of three botanical illustrations.  Did you know that these are the original lilies that the ones you see now with the upward facing flowers were hybridized from?  A lady in California was the first to breed a new variety she named "Star Gazers" because they faced upwards instead of downwards.  Both are so beautiful.
