'L. canadense var. coccineum' (Lilium)

The rare brick red color form of the type, this variant grows well alongside its more common yellow flowered cousin. 'Coccineum' has always held a special spot in our heart as it was with this species we won not only our first blue ribbon at the show bench, but best in class as well.
