I thought the following might help some of you find what you are looking for
since suppliers often use various names:
Chlidanthus fragrans = Delicate Lily, Perfumed Fairy Lily
Cyrtanthus elatus = Scarborough Lily, George Lily, Knysna Lily, Vallota
Lily, Syn: Vallota speciosa
Sprekelia formosissima = Aztec Lily, Jacobean Lily, Mexican Fire Lily,
Orchid Lily, St. James Lily, St. James Cross Lily, Syn: Amaryllis
formosissima
Hymenocallis narcissiflora = Peruvian Daffodil, Lily Basket, Pancratium
Lily, Basket Flower, Raggedy Ann
Pancratium maritimum = Sea Daffodil, Mediterranean Lily, Sea Lily
