Lilium michiganense. A prairie plant native to Lucas County sometimes mistaken for naturalized Asian "tiger lilies," Lilium lancifolium, but more delicate. A true lily that grows one and a half to 4 feet tall, unbranched stems, leaves usually whorled in clusters of 3-7 with one to 6 nodding flowers above on stalks 4-8 inches long. Yellow bulb with fibrous root system below. Blooms for about a month at midsummer.
Prefers moist black-soil prairies, woodland openings, Bur Oak savannas and moist meadows along streams or marshy areas.
