Lilium henryi (Chinese: 湖北百合; pinyin: Húběi bǎihé; literally "Hubei lily"), sometimes called Tiger Lily or Henry's lily, is a native lily of montane central China. Typically it grows to about 1.5 m high, but the tallest and most vigorous plants can reach up to 2.5 m tall. It is likely to bend away from any shade and seek the light, and hence may need staking. The flowers are orange, spotted black, and unscented. The petals are recurving, and eventually become turks-caps (though not when young). It is useful as a garden ornamental plant as it is more tolerant than most lilies of lime in the soil.
