I haven’t filtered or processed this image at all. The orange really is that ridiculously saturated. I’ve never seen this kind of flower in our backyard before today and the plant itself is very different from the other flowers near it. Must have been a bird or something.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lily just appear somewhere randomly, either. I thought their bulbs had to be separated and transplanted, but evidently there are multiple ways they multiply. 😉

Unless it’s a mutation of some sort, it’s got to have been brought there by an animal. A lighter orange lily has been growing there for years– I’ve photographed them before– but I’ve never seen one this color and the plant and the leaves are very different from the others. The long stems in the background are from the other lilies. Unless they only come out every five years like locusts or something I have no idea where it came from.

The others near it all look like this: https://infinitefreetime.com/2014/06/21/this-time-of-year-again/

Maybe it’s from outer space… “Feed me…” Just look at those pods.

Found your blog through Scalzi’s. Good info on the KU matter going on. I am debating on following your lead and just getting the heck off the dang thing. Thanks for that post.

A lily? Appearing by chance? I’ll believe in fairies next.

Another one popped up today, in a part of the lawn with no lillies. It’s easily 50 feet away. No clue.

I am quite sure my dad grows these for fun…. I don’t know what they are called, but he does. And his garden is on the local garden club summer tour, and mine is not.
