Lilium michiganense

Lilium michiganense is a species of true lily commonly referred to as the Michigan Lily. It is a wildflower present in prairie habitats in the eastern United States and Canada, as far southwest as Oklahoma.

The flower is orange with spots. It is widely cultivated in domesticated form. The Michigan lily is often confused with the Turk's Cap Lily (Lilium superbum), and with a naturalized Asian "tiger lily" Lilium lancifolium. The leaf arrangement is typically whorled, but sometimes alternate just below the inflorescence and at the very base of stem.[1]

Endangered status

The Michigan lily is an endangered species in the state of New York, the northeasternmost state in its range. It is listed as threatened in Tennessee.
