This is a true tiger lily. They do not produce seeds, which makes them impossible to hybridize. I think it is hard to imagine what would improve them, anyway. The tiger lily plants grow from bulbs. Tiny black bulbils (bulblets) develop where the leaves join the stalk. The bulbils eventually drop off, producing new plants. I've had tiger lilies for many years, since my children were small.

The second row has a hibiscus growing in a pot outside on the garden steps. The third picture is another variety of peach daylily.

The last picture is another shot of my burgendy daylilies. I have several clumps of this vigorous and lovely lily.
