"Within this book Bonnie Lawrence and Anna Leighton have gathered together a wealth of information from their ten years of fieldwork and research into the Western Red Lily, Saskatchewan's floral emblem. Prairie Phoenix: The Red Lily, Lilium philadelphicum, in Saskatchewan features well over 100 colour photograhs, maps and charts that display the beauty and diversity of Saskatchewan's most beloved wild flower. Learn about the lore, the life cycle and the adaptations of the Red Lily in natural habitats. Discover how this "prairie survivor" endures the harsh extremes of the prairie climate and how fire serves to rejuvenate its growth.

Through their knowledge and graceful prose the authors tell the unique and fascinating natural history of the Western Red Lily which they supplement with quotes from Saskatchewan people who speak of their close attachment to this resilient and fascinating plant."--Back cover.
