Lilium tsingtauense (also known as "Twilight Lily") is an East Asian species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Korea and eastern China (Anhui + Shandong Provinces).
Lilium tsingtauense is an herb up to 85 cm tall, growing as a single stem from a scaly bulb. It has smooth, inversely lanceolate leaves, about 13 centimetres (5.1 in) long and mostly in 2 whorls. The plant bears loose umbels of 6 (but may be up to 15) upright, unscented, shallow trumpet-shaped flowers, that blossom under partial sunlight. These appear in midsummer and are orange or reddish-orange with maroon spots.
It is named for the city of Tsingtao (Qingdao) in The People's Republic of China.
