Tiger Lily (Lilium columbianum) grows in wooded areas from British Columbia to Northern California, east to Idaho and mountainous Nevada. Stems reach just over a foot. Petals are yellow-orange with dark speckles (not stripes), recurving into a graceful pendant shape. Leaves whorl the stem. Occasional crimson accents add drama.
Do not pick wild specimens—removing flowers prevents bulb regeneration. Native tribes ate the bitter, peppery bulbs as a flavor enhancer. They're not endangered but deserve respect in situ.
Easy in native range. Source bulbs from specialty nurseries—wild transplants fail. Plant in moist, nutrient-rich soil.
Orange signifies courage. Associated with femininity. Unique speckles represent individuality—perfect for a creative soul you admire.
