Stan'notes: "Also called Turk's cap lily, and once common along country roads, it has decreased due to mowing and draining of ditches. A big lily that grows from a large scaly underground bulb, it can grow up to 20 flowers per plant. American Indians once gathered its bulbs for food."p83, Wildflowers of Michigan Field Guide, by Stan Tekiela
