Today’s Featured Flower Photo of the Day:
Orange Lily

Here is today’s featured photo flower presentation. To let 2024 shine bright, I am featuring fine photos of flowers, continuing to honor the brighter side of life again this year. Today’s Flower of the day is the Orange Lily.

The Orange Lily, or Lilium bulbiferum, part of the Liliaceae family, is indigenous to the continental climate of the steppes, the Mediterranean countries, south-east Europe and central Asia. None of the lilies grow naturally in the Nordic countries, but a few species are cultivated ornamentally to such an extent that they have spread into the wild and can now be said to be established. The Orange Lily is a low-maintenance and resilient ornamental plant; it is indeed one of the most stunning ornamentals, and as such, it is a common feature in gardens. Despite being native to southern Europe, it has adapted very well to the Finnish soil and climate, as evidenced by its growth in areas that were once gardens, but now only have Orange Lily flowers swaying in the tall grass. The Orange Lily doesn’t mind being crowded by other plants and can outlast the garden, the house, and other obvious signs of human habitation. It often grows wild in Finland, although it is rare outside of parks and gardens. In addition to spreading through its seeds and bulbs, it also propagates through its dark brown bulbils, which develop in the upper axils. The similar, but slightly more robust and big-flowered ssp. croceum does not produce bulbils. Orange Lilies can symbolize many things, including: positivity, well done, encouragement and new beginnings….
