I always think of "tiger lily" as an orange one with black spots and loaded with bulbils along the stems. When they bulbils fall to the ground and root, you will have huge numbers in no time! They are of the Asian species 'lancifolium'. I think there are several native American species still found in California, none of which I have ever seen. Are they the "turk's cap" form like the European martagons? My "authority" on all things lilies is Ed McRae, author and associate of Jan de Graaf at Oregon Bulb Farms.
