My wife received a lily from my daughter and I wanted to know what it looked like under an ultraviolet light. Bees see in the ultraviolet spectrum and I am looking for ways to attract bees. I have looked at two species of flowers and blossoms and the stigma is reflective in both.
#Lilium pardalinum, leopard lily, a native to the west coast of North America. Never did well for me in Seattle until I moved it into full shade next to a lilac. Then a squirrel ate it 😭
“Oriental #Lily” is a term that refers to many, usually hybridized varietals of lily. Sometimes Tiger Lily is also used.
This #hybrid is called #Muscadet and is known for the #pink spots on its #white#petals.
