wildflower of the week


after feeling so discouraged about all the invasive species taking over the natural world, my spirits were lifted when i saw this stand of native wild lilies, called variously 'turk's cap lilies, Lilium superbum,' or 'michigan lilies, Lilium michiganese.' these are on the north side of earhart road, south of seven mile. the exotic red-orange flowers blaze through the surrounding greenery.
