Each nodding bloom measures 5-8\u201d across and features 6 orange tepals (petals and petal-like sepals) that curve back reflexively to almost touch the stem. The flowers are speckled with maroon spots. Six long, yellow stamens with brownish anthers protrude well beyond the tepals. A green \u201cstar\u201d streaked inside the center of each bloom is a hallmark of the species and distinguishes it from similar plants. Turk\u2019s-cap is the tallest of the North American lilies, typically reaching 4-6\u2019 in height (it can grow to 8\u2019 under optimal conditions). Long, narrow dark green leaves grow in whorls around straight stems that branch near the top. Flowers are located at the branch termini. The species was named Turk\u2019s-cap because of its resemblance to the Eurasian Turk\u2019s cap lily (<em>Lilium martagon<\/em>). Martagon means \u201cturban\u201d or \u201cTurk\u2019s cap\u201d, and refers to the flower shape. Turk\u2019s-cap lily can be found on sunny stream banks, wetland meadows, and forest edges. It thrives in the sun, but doesn\u2019t like to be dried out, preferring moist, well-drained soils. \u00a0It will spread when happy, thanks to rhizomatous bulbs.\u00a0 These bulbs are edible when cooked, and supposedly taste like turnips. Just don\u2019t feed them to your cat. All plant parts are toxic to felines.<\/p>\n<p>Credits: Text by Valerie Boss.
