The Turk's cap lily prefers full or partial sun, loamy soil, and moist conditions, but an established plant can withstand some drought. There is some tendency to flop over if there is inadequate support from neighboring plants.The Turk's Cap Lily it is occasionally cultivated in gardens because of the showy flowers. Habitats include moist meadows in woodland areas, open woodlands and young flatwoods, thickets, and areas along lakes.<br /><br />It's a beautiful plant and I've seen it here on the eastern shore, but that doesn't mean that someone isn't growing it here.Beatrice P.

It's gorgeous. Mine in the garden are orange whereas red in yours. There should be black round, what I think/thought seeds, one lying at the base of each leaf, cradled. I collect and dry them.Caddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575600935524610154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-75496783235919618472010-07-30T10:22:41.260-05:002010-07-30T10:22:41.260-05:00I suspect your Lily is a wild native variety.
