Who can help me identify this pretty orange flower growing in my garden? I thought it might be a tiger lily, but it's not. It doesn't have those noticeable stamen in the center like a lily. Plus, a characteristic of each bloom is that one petal curls downward in a lovely curlique. Any horticulturist readers in the know?I am honored that Molfetta Daily Photo has been selected as a Travelavenue Favorite Blog 2010.

I can't help with the identification, but it really is lovely.
Looks a bit like bird of paradise plant in shape if not colour.
Beautiful flower Saretta!
I have to be back to know the answer... Beautiful image anyway, Saretta!
I agree with deep, dark Sarah in that it reminds me of a Bird of Paradise.
Can't believe VP doesn't know. He knows everything! Seriously!
Gorgeous plant!
I am clueless, but a beautiful flower none the less. I am sure someone out there knows what it is.
BTW, congratulations.
It looks like some sort of orchid. It's very pretty whatever it is!
congrats on your well deserved recognition!
& I wish I knew the name of this flower, it is beautiful.
This is a Canna Lily, which is a member of the canna family. Not actually a lily, it is a perrenial tropical herb---but don't try eating it! Beautiful photo of a lovely flower.
Jess was right...its canna which comes in many colors and varieties...frpm a Molfettese living in Pennsylvania...enjoy your summer...Anthony Magarelli
