Lilium philadelphicum, also known as the wood lily, Philadelphia lily, prairie lily or western red lily, is a perennial species of lily native to North America.[2] It is widely distributed in much of Canada from British Columbia to Quebec, and parts of the United States (Northeast and Great Lakes regions plus the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains).[3][4]
Description
This lily grows to a height of approximately 30 to 90 centimeters, and produces red or orange blooms between June and August.[5]
A variant of the species, the western red lily (L. philadelphicum andinum) was designated Saskatchewan's floral emblem in 1941.[6][7] It is featured on the flag of Saskatchewan.
Conservation
The wood lily is listed as endangered in Maryland, New Mexico, Tennessee and North Carolina.[3][8] Its status is "threatened" in Kentucky and Ohio.[3]
In Saskatchewan, the flower is the provincial floral emblem[9] and is protected under the Provincial Emblems and Honours Act, meaning it cannot be picked, uprooted or destroyed in any way.[6]
