Description: The western wood lily (Lilium philadelphicum) is found on south-facing montane slopes and open temperate-zone aspen parkland. This large, very showy orange flower opens upward, displaying black-ended stamens and black dots on the inner part of the petals. It is a protected plant in Canada, but because of its beauty, it is a target for unknowledgeable pickers. Unfortunately, this kills the plant, which is unable to produce two sets of leaves in a summer. It is commonly but incorrectly known as the "tiger lily," to which it bears little resemblance. The western wood lily is the provincial flower of Saskatchewan, Canada, and blooms from June to August. Ø2004 D. Windrim Captioned As {
