Michigan Lily (Lilium michiganense)

   Michigan Lily is a showy perennial plant native to prairies in eastern United States and Canada.  Habitats include moist prairies, open areas in floodplain forests, Bur Oak savannas, fens, swamps, and high quality prairies along railroads.
The large showy orange-red flower looks to be designed specifically for hummingbirds, Sphinx moths, Hummingbird moths, long-tongued bee, and other butterflies and insects. It is unique in its appearance with an unbranched stem with leaves in whorls and a few showy flowers appearing in early-mid summer. The only plant that looks like the Michigan Lily is the Turk's Cap Lily, which is commonly mistaken for it.
