I am a big fan of Stargazer lilies and have been ever since a florist friend introduced me to them almost 20 years ago.
“The stargazer lily is a recent hybrid that was first developed in 1978 by Leslie Woodruff, a plant breeder who was completely devoted to his lily projects.” “The flower buds opened towards the sky, so Woodruff named this hybrid “Stargazer.”” (both quotes from http://lilyflowerstore.com/lily-facts/meaning-of-stargazer-lily.html)

I had no idea this is a hybrid. But it’s beautiful, I love them too.
