Perspective of a Yellow Tiger Lily

'Yellow Tiger' is a  purple-spotted, bright yellow flower. There are approximately 100 species of lilies. A bulbous perennial, that originated in wooded areas of Europe and Asia, the lily has become a favorite in gardens across the world noted for its trumpet-shaped flowers.
