Wood Lily

@buckshotbyjc

This bright and showy flower has orange petals and a yellow center with dark spots. It is very rare and hard to find. It is also very fragile and picking a flower can cause it to die off never to return to that spot. Elk and deer consider it a tasty snack! It grows in decaying wood.
