Rye lily, Lilium bulbiferum subsp. croceum is a wild plant of western Europe and used to be common in rye fields in the east of our country. Since time immemorial, these bright orange flowers have been planted out in gardens. They mainly depend on fairly nutrient-poor sand and loamy soil that is regularly but not too heavily disturbed. That is why you find them in shallow ploughed fields and, for instance, in mountain areas where the subsoil is regularly disturbed. There are two subspecies, the one with many breeding globules, which is still cultivated and traded, and the one with no or very few breeding globules, which is no longer cultivated. In northern Germany, remnants still appear to be present here and there on and along cereal fields, and at Govelin, a grant has been obtained to preserve a last rich site in fields.
