Legend has it that an old Korean wise-man turned hermit helped a wounded tiger by pulling out an arrow that was impaled in it's body.
At the tiger’s request, the hermit used his powers to perpetuate their friendship after death.
Later, when the tiger died, his body became a beautiful Tiger Lily. Eventually the hermit drowned and his body was washed away never to be seen again.
That is why the Tiger Lily has spread everywhere searching for it's friend.
There is a superstition that if you smell a Tiger Lily, you will be blessed with {or plagued with} freckles.
