Description
When driving through rural America or anywhere in the world for that matter, once you get off the main arteries and onto back roads you will sometimes come across little seen hidden treasures such as this idyllic scene.
Wild Tiger Lilies in foreground and evergreens behind helped to frame this scene.
These fiery like flowers have spots that probably give the flower it's name.
Grown from bulbs they do not do well in soggy soil that doesn't drain well.
In his book (Eat The Weeds) Mr. Green Deane states "Most of this Tiger Lily is edible by humans but all parts are toxic to cats. It causes feline kidney failure. In Asia and Japan this lily is grown for its edible bulb. Cooked it resembles turnips in flavor. Flower buds are eaten raw or cooked."

What a sublime sense of tranquility, Jim...love all of the beautiful elements framing that pond.
