Orientpets, Orienpets or OT hybrid Lilies are a breed of lilies, the result of crosses between orientals and trumpets. They are valued for their appearance, disease-resistance, hardiness and for late blooming.
Lilium nobilissimum is a species of plant in the lily family Liliaceae. Endemic to the island of Kuchinoshima in Japan's Kagoshima Prefecture, it grows on the cliffs of the southwestern portion of the island. In floral breeding circles, the plant was used for the production of upright oriental lilies.
Some lilies, especially Lilium longiflorum, form important cut flower crops or potted plants. These are forced to flower outside of the normal flowering season for particular markets; for instance, Lilium longiflorum for the Easter trade, when it may be called the Easter lily. Lilies are usually planted as bulbs in the dormant season.
Lilium 'Stargazer' (the 'Stargazer lily') is a hybrid lily of the 'Oriental group'. Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume, blooming mid-to-late summer. Stargazers are easy to grow and do best in full sunlight. [1] They have a fast growth rate and should be planted in full sun in well-drained loamy or sandy soil.

Lilium formosanum, a closely related species from Taiwan, has been treated as a variety of Easter lily in the past. It is a stem rooting lily, growing up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high. It bears a number of trumpet-shaped, white, fragrant, and outward-facing flowers. This species, along with most other true lilies, are highly toxic to cats. [1]
Although many Lilium species such as Lilium martagon and Lilium candidum can be obtained commercially, the majority of commercially available lilies represent the products of a very diverse hybridisation program, which has resulted in a separate horticultural classification, including such groupings as Asian, Oriental and Orienpet.
Lilies seed germination is classified as either epigeal or hypogeal. These classifications may be further refined as immediate or delayed. Whether a lily is epigeal or hypogeal may be related to survival strategies developed according to the climate where the lily originated. Epigeal lilies evolved in moderate climates.
