Welcome to the South Saskatchewan Lily Society Website

The  South Saskatchewan Lily Society (SSLS) is a non-profit society which is affiliated with  the
North American Lily Society.


Our purpose is to educate our members in the culture of lilies and to promote the genus lilium.
Lilium is a genus (latin for descent, family, type, gender) of herbaceous flowering plants grown from bulbs, all with
large prominent flowers.
The SSLS sponsors & also cares for a Heritage Lily Garden at the Training Depot for the RCMP in Regina.

The Lily Leaf Beetle

As you all know the Red Lily Beetle is still an ever present threat to our garden lilies but especially our wild species L .philadelphicum (also known as the Wood Lily, Philadelphia Lily, Prairie Lily or Western Red Lily, a perennial species of lily native to North America).
We must be very vigilant to stay ahead of its progress into our province.

Nature Conservancy of Saskatchewan have officially recognized the lily beetle as being in Saskatchewan. If you wish to report a sighting please go to:
imapinvasives.org/skimi/report_invasives/   
so we can begin mapping it on the provincial data management system (iMapInvasives) and tracking its spread throughout our province.
