‘Skyscraper Friso’ is a tall lily with pink and white flowers and a stunning scent.

Lilies really are the queens of summer flowers. It is so difficult to beat them for form, colour or scent. Oh, I could stand by their open flowers and get drunk on that scent! It is so rich.

Some people find the perfume too heady, but I cannot imagine a life so grey that I could not tolerate the technicolour scent of a lily. And then there are those huge flowers.

They are so elegant, so beautifully-painted, and so varied. They are the ballerinas of flowers, or the floral equivalent of those beautiful, graceful Arabian horses.

These ‘Skyscraper Friso’ lilies are tall, bold ones, with a very good strong scent, and the flowers last a week and a bit, too. I can’t bear to cut them and bring them indoors, so instead I just stand on my patio in the evenings, loving my lilies.
