Lilium columbianum, also known as the Columbia lily, Columbia tiger lily, or simply tiger lily, is a lily native to western North America. It is found in lowland and montane forest openings and meadows from southern British Columbia in Canada south to northern California and east to Montana in the northwestern United States. It grows up to 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) tall and bears from few to numerous orange flowers with darker spots. The bulbs of Lilium columbianum were used as a flavoring, often in soup with meat or fish, by Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and most western Washington peoples. From seed, Lilium columbianum requires three to five years to mature, but cultivated bulbs can be divided or bulb scales may be used to generate new plants more quickly.
