This lily was named in honour of the Baroness Orczy, who was a good friend and client of Latour-Marliac's. She was of Hungarian noble origin, but lived mostly in London and Paris. An author, she is best known for her play, The Scarlet Pimpernel. She was instrumental in Latour-Marliac's early success in Great Britain.
