It was a photo taken in Thomas Jefferson's front yard at Montecello.
Can anybody help me identify it?
A true lily (Lilium) - of some sort. The height makes me think of what I
grew up calling a Tigerlily, but I don't know what the proper Latin is.
(I've lost all mine to the dreaded red lily beetles, sigh)
