Description
It's Tiger Lily season and ours are blooming. They are one of the most impressive wildflowers in our area, growing to an easy six feet tall with lovely orange flowers spotted with brown. They have little bulblets growing in the leaf axils which will fall and sprout new plants.
These are early summer wildflowers with a relatively short blooming time. They were originally from Asia, but over the many years have naturalized and earned their place as an American wildflower.

Very pretty Carol! I don't have any of those, maybe I should get some! l/f
Carol Senske replied:
We have these here as wildflowers, but I see them advertised from nurseries. Majestic for sure, especially in a clump since most stems can have a total of 8 or ten flowers. Thanks for the nice comment:>)

Wonderful to have these lovely lilies growing wild around you! I never realized they had broken out of the burbee seed packs into the forests of America!!! Hurray! Great shot! F/L

Thanks for taking a minute to visit and comment - so appreciated as I know how busy you are. We are exceptionally lucky to have these and I don't see many, but the edge of our woods seems to suit them. I never knew they were available in seed packs - LOL. Ours came with the house when we bought it over 50 years ago, and there are a few here and there. So many were destroyed to make way for houses.
