Good eye. It should indeed read orienpet for the oriental and trumpet lily parentage. ‘Black Beauty’ never fails to catch attention and is always reliable. We are looking into adding more orienpet cultivars to the arboretum.

At first I thought it was just a typo, but I notice it is spelled twice that way. I believe the term is actually orienpet, no? I have never seen this type of hybrid referred to as oriempet, but I actually prefer that spelling, now that I have tried pronouncing it that way. It seems a slightly more elegant combination of the two terms suited to these most elegant plants. I did not realize ‘Black Beauty’ falls into this category of lily.
