We have a very unusual lily plant. The first time I saw it, it was growing in my great grandmother's garden. It looked like a tiger lily but it grew on a very tall straight plant. She died many years ago but we still own the house. In order to keep the house in the family, we bought it. That was a gigantic mistake, but I won't go into detail about that in this blog. All I will say is that property values have fallen, and we have a renter who has made matters even worse. No matter how much care or lack of care, these plants survived. I never had a chance to ask anyone what the plant was called. When we moved to our home, I dug up some of the plants. They have done very well here but I still didn't know what they were called. After an internet search, I believe they are called a Michigan Lily.
