Perennial: Lilium lancifolium, Hemerocallis Fulva Most of us refer to the flower in this picture as an Orange Lily, or a Tiger Lily. But, some people call this Day Lily a “Ditch Lily”. It’s because this prolific wildflower is commonly found in ditches around a wide area of America. There is much confusion about Tiger Lilies. An oriental variety is very similar. The major difference is that the oriental Tiger Lily propagates through a bulbs that forms at leaf axils. The common wildflower Tiger Lily is a profuse propagator by means of tuberous roots. Both varieties have edible roots and have been used for medicinal purposes. Did You Know? Tiger Lilies have medicinal uses. They relieve congestion, and the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.

I awoke to a layer of thick fog in suburban Melbourne and was hopeful that my trip up Mount Dandenong would result in clear skies above and an opportunity to capture the beauty this area can provide. I was very pleased to see a thick mist blanketing the lowlands once I arrived at my destination which provided a spectacular scene at sunrise and the hours following.
