Tiger Lily


Tiger Lily

Lilium columbianum

Columbia Lily or Tiger Lily (sharing the latter common name with several other species in its genus).

This is the Tiger Lily I've been looking for! The ones I have in my photos are a different species!! I wish I could get some of these.
The grow little corms between the leaves and the stem that look like
little black berries. You can plant them and start more flowers from
them! I used to do that when I had this species pictured here, in Georgia! I loved them because you could get a never ending supply of new plants from the old ones and distribute them all around the yard!!

About Me

My photo
I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
