White as fresh fallen snow describes the blooms. Green as new spring grass describes the leaves.

A great choice for any water garden, Carolyn Uber grows well in semi-shaded areas and produces a multitude of sweet fragrant blooms.

Completing the picture are cocoa striped leaf stalks holding large, circular, forest green leaves above the water. Gladstoniana has a rather faint, sweet aroma and can be planted in semi-shaded areas.

Hal Miller

View Larger Image

This lily is named after Mr. Hal Miller of the Miller Water Gardens of San Gabriel, California. Many of the old timers may remember the Gardens. It was a day event. They had displays of some of the biggest and most beautiful goldfish Comets and Fantails that I have ever seen. At one time they even had alligators in some ponds. Like many of the old gardens now gone, Millers Gardens was a virtual treat of the 1900s before theme parks. Going back to the lily, Mr. Miller hybridized this from a Sunrise hardy lily and a Virginalis. The Sunrise being a part odorata and Virginalis a hybrid tuber. As you can see this is a large magnificent lily for large ponds. Flowers can be as large as 12 inches in diameter or larger. The leaf is the same, 12 or more inches in diameter or larger. The leaves have purple specks under the leaf and some variegation on top. All in all, one of the top lilies available today.
