Lilium aka Lily
Taxonomy
Lilium, also known as true lilies, is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants that grow from bulbs and are characterized by their large, prominent flowers. These lilies are culturally and literarily significant worldwide. Native to the northern hemisphere, they thrive in temperate climates, extending into the subtropics. While other plants may bear "lily" in their names, they do not belong to the Lilium genus. Among the true lilies, there is a compact, deciduous herbaceous perennial bulb called the oriental trumpet hybrid variety. It features strap-like green leaves and fragrant, outward-facing flowers in vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow, blooming in midsummer. This variety typically produces around 8 buds per stem. True lilies are incredibly easy to grow, being bulbs, and they reliably flower year after year with minimal care. Their large trumpets create a mesmerizing display of colors, often accompanied by spicy and exotic scents.
