Each year when photos of the brilliant orange summer lilies come in, we have the discussion of whether they are Tiger Lilies or Day Lilies. This side-by-side may help. On the left is the wonderful, wild Day Lily that volunteers by roadsides and in ditches. On the right is the traditional Tiger Lily that I remember appreciating in my Grandmother Marcum's yard. The Tiger Lily is the only one with the little black pearls that grow up the stalk at each leaf. Comments | Permalink
