Hi

You wouldn't happen to know of a site were you could see these candy lilies.  They sound nice.

  Congratulations on your Candy Lilly bloom. Before I got into iris, I 
  fell in love with this plant. A nice big plant will produce dozens of 
  flowers, AND seeds which are very fertile and also bloom.
  What color is yours? I am not familiar with Cherry Nehi. I had one 
  plant orange spotted; one orange blended, and one which was dark 
  red/maroon spotted lighter.
  Anyhow, the parent plants were eaten by the iris borer this year. 
  Iris borer killed them because they have very little, if any 
  rhizomes, and have hollow stems. Great conduits for the borers.
  However, I do have the babies. I cut them down, kept them in pots in 
  the unheated garage for the winter, and they liked it alot. It was 
  cold but almost never frozen there.
  The parents lived outside for a couple of years, before they died, 
  and seemed to suffer somewhat from the harsh NJ cold, and were late 
  to sprout too. 
  I would suspect the Candy Lilly would LOVE Florida. Hope to see a 
  picture of yours soon.
