White Tiger Lily

 

This flower is really showing us all, in detail… and a little pollen-dusted again.

 

There is an old legend from Asia about the Tiger Lily. A Korean hermit helped a wounded tiger by removing an arrow from its body. The tiger asked the hermit to use his powers to perpetuate their friendship after his death. The hermit agreed and when the tiger died, his body became a tiger lily. Eventually the hermit drowned and his body was washed away. The Tiger Lily spread everywhere searching for its friend.

 

There is a superstition that smelling a Tiger Lily will give you freckles.

 

The Tiger Lily stands for wealth and prosperity.

 

The Tiger Lily, has six stamens (composed of anthers and filaments), one pistil (composed of the stigma, style and ovary), a long style, and a three-lobed stigma.

 

Thank you, M, (*_*)
