Perennial Plant Identification – Foliage like an Iris – Flower Like a Lily

Ask the Expert: Need help identifying a flower. I found this plant at our old hunting club and rescued what look kind of like an iris. The leaves have a iris appearance with flat tall leaves but it is more like a fan because they are on one stalk that gets up to about three feet. I have put some in shade and some in full sun, and it seems to like full sun best. The flowers are like a tiger day lily (orange with specks) but they tiny (when fully open they are a little larger than a quarter and only stay open a day like a day lily) Can you identify this flower? I don’t have a picture.Thanks for you help. Kim

Kim,

I think you have a Blackberry Lily (Belamcanda chinesis) also known as Leopard Lily. I found this picture of a Blackberry Lily on Encyclopedia Britannica Online.
