The Tiger Lilies are all in bloom now!
These berries are called bulbils. They are the developing bulbs. They will fall to the ground and be pollinated. By the way, the bulbs taste like potatoes, and are popular to eat in Japan.
Tyger
Tyger, burning bright,
In the
forests of the night;
What
immortal hand or eye,
Could
frame thy fearful symmetry?
When the
stars threw down their spears
And
water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he
smile his work to see?
Did he
who made the Lamb make thee?

I love to see the bright orange tiger lilies each summer! Beautiful photos.
this flowers is aptly named, it does resemble a tiger... as are the big tigers beautiful so are these lilies and I do agree with that beautiful poem that God made both tigers and did it well.
