Description
Sometimes a person has to wonder how a plant’s name came to be, while other times it’s obvious. In the peculiar case of Lilium philadephicum, the same plant is commonly known both as the Wood Lily and the Prairie Lily (after two rather opposite habitat types). It does, in fact, grow in both habitats. As the most widespread native lily of North America, it even grows in the mountains and on rocky outcroppings overlooking the Great Lakes. But there is no consensus on the common name—it seems to depend, primarily, on the habitat in which one lives. And in Minnesota, that could mean calling it either!
Dimensions: 9 x 12 inches
Art is unmatted and unframed.
This is original colored pencil art made with Polychromos Colour Pencils by Faber-Castell, an oil-based colored pencil that contains less wax than most colored pencils and therefore suffers from less wax bloom than most (in which the wax rises to the surface, dulling pigments over time). The pigments are acid-free, with the highest lightfast ratings in the industry. The majority of the colors are rated at the highest fade resistance of 100+ years, with a few rated at 25+ years.
