What is Lilium bulbiferum

Lilium bulbiferum or Orange lily(Lilium bulbiferum)Orange lily (scientific name: Lilium bulbiferum) is a perennial bulbous plant of the lily family, Liliaceae, native to the mountainous regions of south-central Europe. It grows wild in subalpine meadows and rocky areas from the foot of the European Alps to altitudes below 1,900 meters. It is also called 'Fire Lily' because of the burning orange color of its flowers. It is dioecious and produces 6 to 7 trumpet-shaped, dark orange flowers from May to July from the leaf axils on upright stems. The genus name, Lilium, refers to the lily genus, and the species subname, ''bulliferum,'' means ''bulb-bearing,'' referring to the secondary bulb on the stem. Unfortunately, the whole plant is toxic to cats.
