オニユリ 鬼百合
[b][i]Lilium lancifolium[/i][/b], commonly called tiger lily, is a species of [[lily (flower)|]], family [i]Liliaceae[/i].

Like other lilies, tiger lily flowers are six-petaled and borne on an upright stem. The flowers tend to nod, with six petals bent backwards and six long stamens spread out. The showy flowers are bright [[orange flower|orange]] with black or brown-red spots. There are also yellow and spotless varieties. The leaves are lanceolate (lance-shaped).

Its Japanese name is オニユリ ([b]鬼百合[/b] [i]oni-yuri[/i], lit. [[Oni]] lily). The curved back petals are associated with oni horns, and the bright orange color is associated with red oni.

Not to be confused with [[gloriosa (flower)|]], which has similar features, but unlike tiger lily, gloriosa petals are wavy and spotless.
