(Pictures) Someone please identify these plants! Maybe this patch of plants is a clue to an old homesite?

They definitely look as if they are in the iris/lily family, but the name escapes me right now! They have foilage like lilies and irises, and undoubtedly grow from bulbs in the ground--which means that if you want to plant some of them elsewhere they would be really easy to transplant.

they look like lillies, really pretty!! hope i could help :o)

They look like something in my garden but no Orange flowers.

Awesome flowers. The leaves look a lot like an iris to me, but not the flower. Could be a lily. Hope you discover something really cool buried underneath!

some kind of lily. bulb plant

Not a strange plant. It is a very common plant. Usually found growing wild along road sides, parks, old homesteads. The tiger lilly, or perhaps a variety, Lilium spp var. http://www.gardenersnet.com/bulbs/tigerlily.htm

Interesting - it looks like a real Tiger Lily (see http://www.holoweb.com/cannon/tigerlil.htm ), not the mis-named Day Lily of the previous Gardener's Network link. Tiger Lilies are a wild N. American lily, while Day Lilies are an Asian form that were generally planted around or near homes as ornamental edging over the last couple hundred years. As a general rule, where you see patches of Day Lilies, there used to be a house nearby. I can't say what your patch means - I suppose Tiger Lilies may possibly also have been planted, but anyway I'd go ahead and search the area if I were you. You might also find it interesting to go to the county seat or town hall and search in the real estate records to see what they show.
