Perennial, Lilium lancifolium, Hemerocallis Fulva
Most of us refer to the flowers in this picture as an Orange Lily, or a Tiger Lily. But, some people call this Day Lily a "Ditch Lily". It's because this prolific wild flower is commonly found in ditches around awide area of America.
There is much confusion about Tiger Lilies. An oriental variety is very similar. The major difference is that the oriental Tiger Lily propagates through a bulbs that forms at leaf axils. The common wild flower Tiger Lily is a profuse propagator by means of tuberousroots. Both varieties have edible roots and have been used for medicinal purposes.
Did You Know?
- Tiger Lilies have medicinal uses. They relieve congestion, and the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
- Native Americans ate the tuberous roots, baking them as you would potatoes.
BUT ALSO :
a funny trio founded 1989 in an apartment on top of a Soho strip bar.The group name has nothing to do with the lovely flower – they are named after a murdered hooker, Lily, who had the habit of receiving her customers dressed in animal prints.
A dark punk cabaret band, with grotesk clown faces, singing controversial songs with a voice that sounds sometimes as from someon ebeing castrated and sometimes close to Tom Waits. With tragique and funny lyrics, about prostitution, the life of simply people, murderer, perverted sexual phantasies, dirt, shit, farts etc … Well, sure not everybodys taste.
“I’m terrible, I’m terrible, I shouldn’t be allowed to sing my songs of filth to a decent crowd, but when I do offend someone it makes me feel so proud.”
But here some vids to see and listen :
