Lilium bolanderi
is a species of lily known by the common name Bolander's lily. This is a perennial herb growing a waxy, erect stem that approaches a meter in height. It originates from a scaly, elongated bulb up to about 7 centimeters long. The wavy oval leaves are located in several whorls about the stem, each waxy green and up to 7 centimeters in length. The flower cluster bears up to 9 large, nodding lily flowers. The flower is bell-shaped with 6 red petals up to 5 centimeters long and marked with yellow, purple, or darker reds. It often hybridizes with other lilies, producing a variety of forms, colors and patterns. There are 6 stamens with anthers sometimes nearly a centimeter long and a pistil which may be 4 centimeters in length. The flowers are pollinated by Allen's and Rufous Hummingbirds, Selasphorus sasin and rufus, respectively.

For forcing slightly green or fresh seeds: 6-8 wks. warm (70°F) stratification or until the majority of seeds have formed bulblets; then 4-6 wks. cold (about 35°F) stratification; sow, and at 55 to 60°F leaves should be produced in 4-6 wks. (De Graaff 1951).
