Default July 22 - Tiger Lily_5831.jpg

Thanks for your insight Rick, how about this for an exact look-a-like
namesake.
I found & saved this photo from this news group but not sure who posted it?
Cheers Wendy

That's a gorgeous shot of Tiger Lilies. Very nice.
I'm equally impressed that for once, what someone is calling a Tiger Lily
really *IS* a Tiger Lily!! Thanks.
Now everyone with lilies, daylilies, or anything else you insist on
calling a "Tiger Lily", please pay special attention to this photo! The
botanical name for this plant is Lilium tigrinum, the only true Tiger Lily
there is.

Regards,
Rick

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Also visible are the black bulbils at the leaf joints. I may collect
them and try to start a colony.
