Description

Flower of Lilium nepalense, a native of the Himalayas, growing at between 1000 and 3000m above sea level. Its growth habit is stoloniferous; the bulb develops a upright stem, together with stolons (horizontal stems). These grow beneath the surface of the soil, eventually terminating in a new shoot, and so propagating a new plant. In horticulture, new plants may appear at some distance from the original bulb. Lily flowers show three-fold symmetry. Each has 3 petals and 3 sepals, showing a similar colour pattern, sometimes referred to as the tepals". In the centre of the flower are 6 stamens ending in pollen-bearing anthers (one partly hidden, here, behind the style). The club-shaped structure below centre is the stigma, borne on a green style. The flowers are pendulous and unscented during daylight hours. In the evening, they develop a heavy scent"
