Looking to find out what type of flower this is. I planted it a few years ago and it comes back beautifully every season...would love to purchase more but just don't remember what it was
It looks like a red Asiatic lily to me, but then I'm no expert. I would suggest you take the photo back to the place where you usually get your plants and ask someone there. There's a young plant coming up among the ones you have growing now, so maybe you can just encourage the ones you have growing to spread more by feeding them.
It is a Lily (Lilium). Don't know which one though. Hundreds of varieties to choose from.
Im am off this weekend to shop for my garden and I will take your advice and take a picture of it with me. I would love it if I can get different colored ones to mix in. It truly is a very pretty plant although it only flowers once and then I have the stalks for the rest of the season.
She grows Asian lilies so she might have an idea as to which one it is that you have. It's worth a tryMaddie?
I know that this is Asian lily, each cultivar may be called by a different name. Mine was called lollipop red Asian lily. Another similar one with greenish buds was called red carpet. This one looks more like the lollipop red variety. I am not so sure since there are so many hybrid varieties locally.I wonder if Maddie would know. Going to try something to see if it the computer will notify her of this post...

You may also want to research online for how to grow lilies. There may be a way to get them to bloom again, but lilies are not my forte - I am hoping to start growing them soon myself.

@ Warmweatherwoman, you do not have to worry. This type of Asiatic lily will spread fast. After they have finished blooming cut and de- head the plant. Leave the stem on till it dies out on its own and you will have bulbs ready for planting in the next season store them like you store the regular day lily bulbs or wrapped in moss.
