Turk's Cap Lily
I got really lucky that the start of this plant my friend gave to me is going so well in my garden.
The stalks are over 5 ft. tall and on the seven stalks there must be 30 flowers. I have noticed small black seeds forming on top on the green leaves on the stalk. This plant will bloom July - September depending on the growing condictions and the weather.
Habitat- moist woods, balds, and trailside thickets.
" This spectacular member of the lily family is one of the showiest wildflowers in the Smokies Park. There may be over two dozen large , nodding flowers per plant. The petals and sepals turn sharply back on themselves, givning the impression of the caps worn by the ancient Turks. "
