'Bird's Milk' aka Ivory Coast Lily!
The Ivory Coast Lily is an aromatic African flower which can last up to a month as a cut flower! The Greeks gave it the name Omithogalumor, "bird's milk". The African name is "Tjekenrientjee"which corrupted into the English common mane, Chincherinchee. The Ivory Coast Lily is a very important creamy-white flower that sits atop a 6' tall stem on sword shaped, wide, medium-green leaves that point upward toward the flower cluster. The 1/2" flowers age to a pure white, and the 6 petaled, star-like flower are centered with a dark green knob that age black.
