These lilies have bright colored flowers as well as decorative leaves.  They seem fragile but most lilies from all over the world are hardy and ideal for the aloe water saving garden.  Lilies store water therefore they need very little watering, just like the aloes in the garden.  This photo gallery is to show a few endemic lilies of the Western Cape Province, South Africa.   Seeds are available.

Most lilies species will grow well with aloes.   Choose the lilies that fit your climate.  Some lilies loose their leaves in the dry summer months others go dormant in the cold winter months but the Amaryllis is one which will keep leaves if it is watered throughout the year - provided the winter is mild.
