Lilium davidii is a native of Sichuan and Yunnan. It grows up to 1.5m high, and bears up to about 20 flowers, unscented, Turk's-cap shaped, orange or reddish orange, from July to August. The bulb is used as edible in Western China and sometimes stoloniferous. It is a stem-rooting lily (adventitious roots emerging above the bulb). It is named for Armand David.
