Ancient gift of health and nourishment
Also known as the Prairie Lily, the Western Red Lili (Lilium Philadelphicum var. andinum) was once abundant from Ontario to British Columbia. Unfortunately, urban development has claimed the meadows, thickets and semi-wooded areas wherethis flower thrives. Its large, flamin blooms often prove irresistible and those who pick them rob this plant of the nutrients it needs to bloom the following year. Canada's aboriginal people used the Western Red Lily as a poultice to soothe bruises and wounds; as a tea to treata variety of ailments; and as an excellent substitute for potato. A protedtec species, the Western Red Lil was adopted as Saskatchewan's floral emblem in 1941.
This coin is the eighth issue of the Provincial floral emblems of Canada series and contains 13 coins that have been released between 1998 and 2010.
