As part of my urban flowers photos, I recently posted a photo of irises against a brick wall. This lily is growing in a similar spot, surrounded by pavement and a few other grasses and plants (namely hostas). It is a welcome oasis in the city.
Below is an illustration of Lilium brownii, also known Brown's lily, by Victorian botanical illustrator Walter Hood Fitch in H.J. Elwes's Monograph of the Genus Lilium.
