WHITE LILY, MADONNA LILY (Lilium candidum L.) +

MAD does not cover L. candidum, instead featuring tiger lily and under that, the martagon.
PH2 covers L. candidum and L. martagon L. but excludes L. tigrinum Ker Gawl, now better
known as L. lancifolium Thunberg. The USDA and WOI view all three as different, so I too
will include all three in my HDR. EFS and HHB aggregated data for tiger lily and martagon.
I treat them as separate.

lily bulbs, I presume.
