Description
The Tiger Lily, bears large, fiery orange flowers that can grow up to three inches in width and are covered by spots. The name tiger probably refers to the spots on the petals.
Also known as the Ditch Lily, it is found in and around ditches in large parts of America.
There is an old legend from Asia about the Tiger Lily. A Korean hermit helped a wounded tiger by removing an arrow from its body. The tiger asked the hermit to use his powers to perpetuate their friendship after his death. The hermit agreed and when the tiger died, his body became a tiger lily. Eventually the hermit drowned and his body was washed away. The Tiger Lily spread everywhere searching for its friend.
The Tiger Lily stands for wealth and prosperity.
