The Regal lily [Lilium regale] is the name of the first widely grown, household garden lily. It was discovered in 1903 by Ernest Henry Wilson [February 15, 1876 - October 15, 1930], intrepid English plant collector from Chipping Camden, Gloucestershire. It was unique among other lily discoveries for the ease with which it could be grown from seed.

Before the Regal lily, lily-growing was a time-consuming, expensive, anxious endeavor by those with money and means. But the ability to grow easily and reliably from seed changed everything, for gardeners and garden-appreciators worldwide.
