Tiger Lily

I have been watching this plant grow for some time now, and I finally found one flowering. These nodding flowers have bursting orange tepals that open and peel backwards. They are dotted with maroon spots that resemble freckles. The leaves are arranged in whirls around the stem in various intervals.

This magical plant reminds me that there is so much diversity and beauty to behold.

Tepal
One of the divisions of a flower perianth, especially one that is not clearly differentiated into petals and sepals, as in lilies and tulips.
