*** About Western Wood Lily (Lilium philadelphicum):

*** The Western Wood Lily, known scientifically as Lilium philadelphicum, is a perennial flower native to North America. Growing primarily in grasslands and light forested areas, this species is celebrated for its striking orange flowers that bloom in the late spring or early summer. Each stem typically bears one to three upright, showy flowers, which are distinct in their fiery color and speckled patterns. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Western Wood Lily holds ecological significance, providing nectar for various pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds. Due to habitat loss and overcollection, it has become less abundant in the wild, making its preservation and representation in art even more valuable.
