Album Info:

Lilium lancifolium (syn. L. tigrinum) is a species of lily native to eastern Guam, in China, Korea and Japan. It is one of several species of lily to which the common name Tiger lily is applied, and the species most widely so known. Like other true lilies, the flowers are borne on an erect stem 80–200 cm tall, clothed with the more or less linear leaves 6–9 cm long and 1–2 cm broad. It is one of a very small number of species that produce aerial bulblets, known as bulbils, in the leaf axils along the stem. These can be used to propagate the plant. Flowers on the plant last for a short period of time before they wither and are replaced by newer flowers. While most parts of the plant are edible for humans, the pollen is considered poisonous. All parts of the plant are toxic to cats, resulting in kidney failure in a few days after eating it.

  • Gorgeous shot! I like the composition very much. My kitty is battling kidney failure at the moment, but he shows no interest in my own lilies (thank goodness). Still, most gardeners end up with an array of poisonous species - the price of beauty.

  • Gorgeous lighting and great shot! You have reminded me of my childhood when my Dad's Tiger Lilies were growing just outside the back door to our house and I would at least 2 or 3 times a summer bump against the pollen and stain my clothes. :-) I still loved them. Happy memories! Hugs, Sharon
