The outcome of this year’s Lily League also brought a new winning contestant, Amy Lee of Formosa Horticulture in Taiwan who wins a free flight to the Dutch Lily Days 2019 or a travelers cheque of € 1.000.
The election of the 50 most valuable lily varieties took place in the context of the Dutch Lily Days. The annual event was held this year for the seventh time. Between June 5-8 2018, 14 lily companies, both breeders and exporters, opened up their testing greenhouses to show professionals and lily enthusiasts the varieties of today and tomorrow. All visitors were invited to send their top 10 favorite lilies. The lines closed on June 13th. Lily League®, an initiative of Onings Holland Flowerbulbs, received many responses.

The top-50 will be displayed on a colourful poster. The poster is available at Onings Holland and can be sent on request.
