This is a Tiger Lily. This Tiger Lily survived Katrina. It used to live in the front yard under the Sweet Gum Trees. Bad Katrina knocked the Sweet Gum Trees down. When BIL came to get the trees he plowed up Mommy's flower bed, she was still in Meridian so she couldn't rescue the flowers. As stuff came back up Mommy would dig stuff up and put it in pots until they could make a new home for the plants but the Tiger Lilies didn't come back up. The Queen Anne's lace that was planted near them did though and Mommy dug them up and planted them in the flower bed with the Hibiscus eventually. Guess what the Tiger Lilies came up, apparently when she dug up the Queen Anne's lace she dug them up too and they were just waiting for a new home to come up and bloom.

Mom was very sad about leaving all her lillies, orchids and many other flowers in her garden in Florida when we moved to Georgia. We are very excited for your Mom that the Tiger Lily survived and surprised her!
We are so sorry your Mom had to leave her flowers in Florida. Mommy likes orchids, but she has never had any except in corsages. Maybe we will try them one day.
Thanks for stopping by Gandalf and Grayson.
