Orange Lilies
Lilium is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs adapted to cool temperate climates.
Lilies are tall perennials ranging in height from 2–6 ft.
They form naked or tunicless scaly underground bulbs which are their over wintering organs. In some North American species the base of the bulb develops into rhizomes, on which numerous small bulbs are found. Some species develop stolons. Most bulbs are deeply buried, but a few species form bulbs near the soil surface. Many species form stem roots, the bulb grows naturally at some depth in the soil, and each year the new stem puts out adventitious roots above the bulb as it emerges from the soil. These roots are in addition to the basal roots that develop at the base of the bulb.
The flowers are large, often fragrant, and come in a range of colours including whites, yellows, oranges, pinks, reds and purples. Markings include spots and brush strokes. The plants are late spring or summer flowering.
Flowers are borne in racemes or umbels at the tip of the stem, with six tepals spreading or reflexed, to give flowers varying from funnel shape .
The tepals are free from each other, and bear a nectary at the base of each flower. The ovary is superior, borne above the point of attachment of the anthers.
Naturally most cool temperate species are deciduous and dormant in winter.
Many species are widely grown in the garden, and they may also be grown as potted plants.
They have contractile roots which pull the plant down to the correct depth,
therefore it is better to plant them too shallowly than too deep.
A soil pH of around 6.5 is generally safe.
The soil should be well drained, and plants must be kept watered during the growing season.
Some plants have strong wiry stems, but those with heavy flower heads may need staking.
