Wikipedia states: It is a species of true lily native to the eastern and central regions of North America. Common names include,Turk's Cap Lily, Turban Lily, Swamp lily or American Tiger Lily. Lilium superbum grows from 3-7 feet high, typically 3-7 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 than can be used to distinguish Lilium superbum from the Asiatic "Tigerlilies" that frequently escape from cultivation. The species ranges from New Hampshire south to Florida, and west to Missouri and Arkansas. The roots were a food source for Native Americans, and the flowers provide nectar for Hummingbirds and larger insects.
