Lilium pensylvanicum

Lilium pensylvanicum ~ Dmitry Poltavsky

Lilium pensylvanicum, sometimes called the Siberian lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae, native to Siberia, Mongolia, northeast China, Korea, and Hokkaido. It is sometimes synonymized with Lilium dauricum. The Latin name is misleading because it implies a North American origin (Pennsylvania) due to an error by botanist John Bellenden Ker. It is native to a cold climate and needs frost in the winter. Limenitis sydyi is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic that belongs to the Nymphalidae family. It is a nemoral (forest-dwelling) species recognized by its blackish-brown wings with white spots and bands, often exhibiting a bluish tint on the underside in males.
