Lilium 'Orange Pixie'

Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel

kai kane@Flickr, aka Peter F. from Gloucestershire, England is the photographer behind today's BPotD (original via BPotD Flickr Group Pool). Thanks, Peter!

As the cultivar name implies, these diminutive lilies grow to a height of only 30-45cm (12-18in). Paghat writes about her experiences with Lilium 'Orange Pixie' (and includes some history of the plant, as well).

I love this shot. There are lots of contrasting colors.
