What are the distinctions between L. philadelphicum and L. catesbaei?
And where does L. p. grow? I noted that L. c. grows in the same
general neck of the woods as Iris lacustris.
Still wondering how anyone could confuse the flakey seed of a lily
with the granular seed of an iris, but I enjoy surprises and
mysteries. At least this mystery plant didn't turn out to be
Nothoscordum inodorum!
