The Carolina Lily is an exciting flower that can be found in dry woods in July and August. It usually has 1-3 blossoms at the summit of its stem. It is reddish-orange, spotted with brown. The 6 tepals (3 petals and 3 sepals) are strongly reflexed (bent back), and 6 slender filaments topped by brown anthers protrude from the center of the flower, as does a long style with a 3-lobed stigma. Each nodding flower is about 3 inches in diameter. |
