The Siroi Lily (Lilium mackliniae Sealy) is a beautiful lily which is found only in the upper reaches on Siroi hill ranges in Ukhrul District of ManipurIndia. It is the state flower of Manipur. The lily is named after the maiden name of the wife of its discoverer Kingdon F. Ward, who discovered it in 1946. The lily won the prestigious merit prize of the 1948 Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show in London. This shade loving lily has beautiful pale bluish-pink petals. The legend that this lily can't be grown anywhere else has been proven wrong. Local Tangkhul Naga folklore has it that this flower adorns the beautiful goddess, Philava, who inhabits the Siroi Kashong (peak). It flowers in the rainy south-west monsoon months of June-July.
