Lilium bulbiferum, common names orange lily, [2] fire lily, Jimmy's Bane, tiger lily and St. John's Lily, is a herbaceous European lily with underground bulbs, belonging to the Liliaceae. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The Latin name bulbiferum of this species, meaning "bearing bulbs", refers to the secondary bulbs on the stem of the nominal subspecies.
Lilies seed germination is classified as either epigeal or hypogeal. These classifications may be further refined as immediate or delayed. Whether a lily is epigeal or hypogeal may be related to survival strategies developed according to the climate where the lily originated. Epigeal lilies evolved in moderate climates.

[a] [76] Flowers of the H. graminea and Lilium bulbiferum were reported to have been eaten as well, but samples provided by the informant were strictly daylilies and did not include L. bulbiferum. [b] [78] Lily flowers and bulbs are eaten especially in the summer, for their perceived ability to reduce internal heat. [79]
In gardening, a "bulb" is a plant's underground or ground-level storage organ that can be dried, stored, and sold in this state, and then planted to grow again. Many bulbs in this sense are produced by geophytes – plants whose growing point is below ground level. However, not all bulbs in the gardening sense are produced by geophytes.
(lily family) Lilium comes from a Latin plant name. [95] [96] 15 genera, in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in temperate zones [97] [98] Herbaceous perennials with erect stems that grow from bulbs or rhizomes. Tulips and true lilies are mainly bred for the cut-flower trade, but bulbs of some species are also consumed as food. [97] [99]

Its stem is stiff and grow to be about 2–4 feet tall with leaves that are small and lance shaped. The petals are a white or light pink color with dark pink or purple scattered spots.

Notholirion is a small Asian genus of bulbous plants in the lily family, Liliaceae. [2] It is closely related to Lilium, but each individual flowers only once, and then dies after producing offsets. The bulb is covered by a tunic. Leaves are basal, produced in autumn and winter. [3] [4]
