This drawing of a Western Red Lily, is the floral emblem of the Province of Saskatchewan, adopted in 1941.
They grow in wooded areas, meadows and along roadsides. They range in color from a light yellow-orange to a bright red and can grow up to 5 feet high. The lily is a protected species in Saskatchewan and there is a penalty if caught picking one. I drew this lily from a photo that I had and the color of it was more on the orange side. They are known as being both beautiful and showy. This is the third drawing in the series.
