I’m not entirely certain as to why Tiger Lilies are my favorite flower. Perhaps the juxtaposition of words; a predatory tiger with a gentle lily. Whatever the reason, they are my favorite flower. Fortunately we have Tiger Lilies beginning to bloom in both our front and back gardens. Here are some captioned views as well as a different lily for contrast.
