Tiger Lily, September 25, 2019

ABC Wednesday and Wildflower Wednesday
L is for Lilium superbum - a bright orange lily whose petals curve backward

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 5, 2017
The fourth Wednesday of each month is Wildflower Wednesday at Clay and Limestone. Lilium superbum is a wildflower native to the eastern half of the United States. It has several common names: American Tiger Lily, Turk's Cap Lily, Turban Lily, Lily Royal, and Swamp Lily.

Lilium superbum rarely make seed; instead small bulbils form at the leaf axis. When planted and kept moist they will grow into new plants.

Have a wonderful day!
