Lemon Lily

Lemon Lily

Lemon Lily Hemerocallis flava is an Asian species that may be found growing wild in Canada, having escaped from gardens. It is not a member of the true lilies (Lilium species) which have different leaf arrangements. The leaves of Lemon Lily are long and sword-shaped and are not in whorls or arranged alternately up the stem as they are in species of Lilium. This yellow-flowered plant is closely related to the orange Day Lily. [CH] {GW}
