Turk's-cap Lily
Lilium superbum
Turk's-cap lily flowers have a green star at the center (not visible in the photo), which makes a good identifying mark for this plant. The green star will distinguish Turk's-cap lily from tiger lily (Lilium trigrinum), a plant from Asia that sometimes escapes from gardens.
