ok, so.....my friend lana from work gave me seeds for this lovely flower.....the seeds came from plants that her son dug up growing wild up above the kentucky river......the details about this plant are as follows....Belamcanda chinensis or Blackberry Lily derives its name from the clusters of shiny black seeds exposed when seed capsules split open. Even though it is called a lily it is actually in the Iris family. Fan-shaped leaves will reach 2 to 3 feet. They are hardy from zones 5 -10 in the U.S. Blackberry Lilies are native to China and Japan.

Blooming Time: Late summer. Flowers are orange with a red dot and are 2 inches across.
