Jefferson documented

This spectacular native lily grows from New York and New Hampshire south to Alabama and Georgia. It is said that a soil could not possibly be too rich for them. Also known as the Spotted Canada Martagon, this lily has been in cultivation since the late 1700's, and Thomas Jefferson received roots from Bernard McMahon in 1812. Jean Skipwith of Prestwould Plantation in south central Virginia also grew it. These rare bulbs are nursery propagated and have not been collected from the wild.
