Tiger Lily

The tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium) is a striking perennial known for its vibrant orange flowers adorned with dark spots, resembling the coat of a tiger. These flowers typically bloom in late summer and are characterized by their recurved petals that add an elegant and exotic touch to gardens.

In terms of scent, tiger lilies have a mild, subtly sweet fragrance. It's not as overpowering as some other lily varieties, making it pleasant and unobtrusive in floral arrangements. The aroma is often described as fresh and slightly floral with a hint of warmth, which does not dominate but gently enriches the surrounding air. This makes the tiger lily a favorite amongst those who prefer a less intense floral scent.
