Lilium kelloggii, commonly called Kellogg's Lily, is a
beautiful summer bloomer. Native to the Klamath Mountains
of southern Oregon and northern California where it finds
hospitable areas in the forest, even as an under story among
the Coast Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens).

This perennial
herb is a little taller than other native summer blooming
lilies and sports up to 27 large showy and fragrant flowers.
The scaly bulb is similar to other species of lilies. The
bell-shaped pink blooms with their and recurved petals are
pollinated by swallowtail butterflies. Preferring dry mountainous slopes where the winters are wet and summer moisture comes from the foggy air, this plant grows quite well in gardens all along the coastal or valley regions in the general area where it is indemic. This lily will grow from seed or divisions of the mother bulb when the little bulblets break off from the host. Photo credit: John Loganecker |
