Wood lily (Lilium philadelphicum)
Wood lily, also known as Prairie lily
The wood lily (Lilium philadelphicum), a perennial flower that attracts butterflies, birds, and bees, thrives in well-drained soils and struggles in flooded conditions. One major reason for its endangerment is the over-harvesting of its flowers, which prevents the bulbs from regenerating properly.
