How about "Leopard Flower aka "Blackberry Lily", Belamcanda chinensis? It is a perennial and is a summer bloomer. Mine all die down in the fall, after the first frost, and then reappear in the spring. The plants only get about 18-24" tall and the flower stalk a foot taller. They look great growing in clumps and the blooms are really nice, swaying in the breeze. This is actually of the Iris family, not the Lily family.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
