Turk's Cap Lily is a perennial herb that grows 3-7
feet high with typically three to seven blooms, but exceptional
specimens have been observed with up to 40 flowers on each stem. It is
capable of growing in wet conditions. It is fairly variable in size,
form, and color. The color is known to range from a deep yellow to
orange to a reddish-orange "flame" coloring with reddish petal tips.
The flowers have a green star at their center that can be used to
distinguish Lilium superbum from the Asiatic "tigerlilies" that
frequently that frequently escape from from cultivation. It grows in
swamps, woods, and wet meadows. Turk's Cap Lily is native to the
U.S.A., cultivated elsewhere for its beautiful flowers.
