Presumably this looked like a hat that early Turks wore. FAMILY: Lily Family (Liliaceae) DESCRIPTION: An extremely showy multicolored flower, or group of flowers nodding on a tall flowering stem. The flower is spotted brown amid the yellow-orange petals, turning to red at the tips where it is strongly recurved. Towards the center of the flower a green streak on each flower segment makes a star pattern. The leaves are 2 - 6" long and lanceolate. Grows from 4 - 7' tall. FLOWERS: June to August HABITAT: Moist meadows, rich woods, and marshy areas.   OTHER INFORMATION: Up to 40 flowers have been recorded on a single plant, but that's extreme. 8 - 10 is usual. The long flower stalk makes these nodding flowers stand out prominently.   OTHER OBSERVATIONS: My observations about this plant can be found at: OFFSITE INFORMATION: If you're interested
