kusanoko

Thunberg lily is a cultivated perennial that blooms in early summer.  
It can be found along the coast, in sandy and gravelly areas, and on rocky shores.  
The flowers are bright orange with reddish brown spots. The leaves are lanceolate, alternate, and densely packed.  
The name "sukashi" means "watermark," and it was given the name "sukashi" because the base of the flower is narrow and a gap can be seen between the flowers.  
Individuals found along the Pacific coast north of the Chubu region are called Iwatoyuri, while those found along the Sea of Japan coast are called Iwayuri.
