Leopard Lily Lilium pardalinum (Liliaceae)
Here is a flower that you can really look up to. Under favorable conditions it can reach a height of 10 feet. The conspicuous anthers change color from magenta to purple or yellow, depending on the individual plant. Large colonies in the wild are a breathtaking site when found along streambanks or wet meadows. The flower pictured here was grown from seed at the Strybing Arboretum in San Francisco. Seeds can be purchased at the Tilden Regional Parks Botanic Garden in Berkeley.
DISTRIBUTION: Moist places throughout the Calif. Floristic Province; < 1700 m.
