A Lady On The Spot!!! - Ladybug On Tiger Lily - NZ by

The Tiger Lily, bears large, fiery orange flowers covered by spots. The name ‘tiger’ probably refers to the spots on the petals. The flowers of this perennial can grow up to three inches in width. The Tiger Lily is also known as the ‘Ditch Lily’ as it is found in and around ditches in large parts of America. A ladybug the Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily Ladybug by TrixiJahn A wonderful interpretation…

FEATURED: GEMS, CAPTION FUN

Due to its wild growing nature, the Tiger Lily is incredibly easy to grow. Tiger lilies thrive well in moist to wet soils and hence grow well near the ditches. Early to mid-autumn is the best time to plant out the bulbs in cool temperate areas, in warmer areas they can be planted out as late as late autumn. The Tiger Lily is sterile and does not produce seeds. They can, however, be propagated through the bulbils (small bulbs) that grow in the axils of the leaves. Bulb scales can be removed from the bulbils and grown in moist peat in a cool dark place until they produce bulbets. They can be then grown in a nursery and later planted outside.

About AndreaEL

My fascination with birds began as a child and almost 50 years down the track my love for our feathered friends has not diminished. Once we moved to Tranquillity (our little country retreat) my passion for birds, all nature and wildlife became a digital reality through the lens of my camera.
