The large, white, trumpet-shaped lilies, like this Lilium regale, are pollinated by hawkmoths. They have a heavy, sweet fragrance that is especially strong at night. #teammoth #Lilium #Pollination #Liliaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
These lilies have a brief, shining moment when they are glorious!
Love it! 😍
Hope you enjoy the book! 😊
Note the whorled leaves on this species. Most lilies have alternate leaves, but some have whorled leaves.
Lilium lancifolium is an Asian species with down-facing, orange flowers with dark spots. Our Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus) knows how to navigate (revolve) around the flower. Pollen is picked up & deposited by the wings. #Lilium #Pollination #Liliaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
