Thunb. Lilium speciosum is an East Asian species of plants in the lily family. Lilium speciosum grows up to 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) tall and 0.3 metres (1 ft 0 in) wide, blooming from August to September in north temperate regions. The flowers are white to pink in colour, and strongly scented.

All species of Iris are considered class 2 (minor toxins causing stomach and intestinal upset) and class 4 toxins (causing dermatitis reactions) for humans, according to official lists of poisonous plants.
