Saw these in bloom, Polk county FL in the middle of nowhere so I'm guessing they are wild.

A FL native indeed, the Catesby Lily (pine lily).

Well that explains it location, among the pine trees.

That is a neat flower. The native plant societies promote a lot of stuff but I don't recall seeing this one. The websites say it needs acidic soil, so that sounds like a limiting factor in most of South Florida.

So many species,

so little time.

Coconut Creek, Florida

Zone 10b (Zone 11 except for once evey 10 or 20 years)

Last Freeze: 2011,50 Miles North of Fairchilds

Its a pine lily (Lilium catesbaei). Somewhat rare to see in the wild and really difficult to grow in a garden.

Awesome find. Difficult to grow in a cultivated setting. The link to the hawthornhill site is a good one. The site has a ton of different native Florida species detailed. He sells plants at native plant sales and was at my local one this spring. Cool stuff.

I knew it would require acidic soil, growing under pine trees. That is why azaleas do so well under pine trees. They are acid lovers. Took me a few years to finally figure that out! Now I plant any acid lovers under the pines or mulch with pine straw for those plants. I remember these growing up and picking them and bringing them home as a bouquet. They are lovely.
