Question
Dear Botanist. I want to ask about this plant. I want to ask what it's botanical name is. It grows in high cold mountains with plenty of rainfall. The plant grows in partial shades of perennial plants like pines. There is a bulb at the roots( around 6 to 18 inches deep down in the soil) which resembles garlic but with thinner leaves. The plant bears a solitary flower in pink color. If anything more is required to know the botanical name of the plant, let me know. Thank you very much
Answer
Dear taurasturi, your plant looks like a species of Lilium (lily). However, I will not be able to tell you which species. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of northeastern North America. It appears this plant is from another part of the world.
