Martagon Lily or Turk's Cap Lily, Lilium martagon "Arabian Knight", Liliaceae. Europe and Asia. Lilium martagon, the martagon lily or Turk's cap lily, is a Eurasian species of lily. It has a widespread native region extending from Portugal east through Europe and Asia as far east as Mongolia. ‘Turk’s cap’ lilies are so called thanks to their highly reflexed petals which curl back on themselves, giving a turban-like appearance. Perhaps surprisingly, the plants originate from Swiss mountain meadow regions and therefore thrive in part-shade, able to withstand cold winters and are more than happy to naturalise in the right conditions. The flowers are scented. Lilium martagon, like many in the genus, is highly toxic to cats and ingestion often leads to fatal kidney failure
