Tiger lily flowers (Lilium lancifolium or Lilium tigrinum) produce tall and showy flowers that you may remember from your grandmother’s garden. My grandmother always had the orange lilies. The tiger lily plant can reach several feet tall, and while the stems are usually sturdy, a slender stake helps provide an upright appearance and support for multiple flowers.
My lilies are almost done blooming for the season. If you look closely you can see a tiny insect. Not sure what it is called. The butterflies and hummingbirds enjoyed the blooms as always. I call them my dignified lilies. They are about the size of my hand. Very large blooms. They come in other colors and varieties but I prefer the red and yellow variety.
Sharing this bloom with Kim’s Color Crazy Challenge. Red is the color to share until July 28th. Anyone can join the challenge. Just make sure Color Crazy is in the title and the photo is red.
We should all paint Virily red! It is such a happy color.

This flower is divinely showcased. Love it!
Thank you, I love these huge blooms. They make me smile.
I named my cat after this lily! She is orange-ish red too! Such a cheery bloom.
Oh that is cool Kim. I love these big blooms.
I was taught that dignified meant serving high tea 🙂
Truly bean=tiful flowers that sadly must pass.
The dignified term is used in place of Tiger in this reference.
i was pulling your leg Carol!
couldn’t help it!
Kind of like Alex right… but he was serious. 🙁
it takes all kinds. 🙂 Alex is a very unique bird.
Beautiful dignified lily. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your comment.
That sure is a dignified lily. I have lilies but not so dignified as yours (lol)
Well maybe dignified is not the right word… but I am enjoying. Thanks Grace! 🙂
Why not? I used to say Preiti was a dignified lady
We can actually say pretty much what we want. 🙂
I don’t understand dignified in the context of plants
Just a word I used instead of Tiger for my tiger lily
you’re certainly welcome to do so, but it pulls the rug out from under me. don’t let that stop you
Sorry about that. Do you have a better word?
This flower is stunning. I did not have that kind of lily before.
Thank you very much, one of my favorites.
You have beautiful flowers in your garden, dear Carol
You are always so kind, thank you. I enjoy the garden.
You are always nice, dear Carol … enjoy your garden
Tiger Lily flower is awesome. The insect is too small to identify. I am sure a million lives thrive in your beautiful garden.
Appreciate your kind comment. I do have many blooms.
I love the beautiful flower with the tiny insect on it. Everything is in focus, as it should be! You’re so good!
Thanks, I love to see these bloom in the front yard. You are so kind. 🙂
