There's never enough of these heirloom plants, which weren't growing in America until imported from the Far East. Unlike Day Lilies, the following cited Wikipedia article says, all parts of the Tiger Lily, above, are poisonous to humans, and fatal to cats, though the plant is raised as a vegetable crop. It's poisonous bulbs, prepared in the correct manner, are edible. These lanky beauties were seen recently shading the right-of-way of a publicly maintained cul-de-sac lane.
