Detailed Information

Lilium ‘Flavia’ is a *cultivar*, meaning it’s a cultivated variety and not a naturally occurring species. Its parentage likely includes various lily species, making it difficult to pinpoint a single “native region.”

However, we can make some educated guesses based on the likely species used in its breeding:

* **Lilium species used in hybridization:** Lily hybrids often include species from both **Europe** and **Asia**.
* **Typical lily habitats:** Lilies are found in temperate regions across the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, Asia, and North America.

Given that ‘Flavia’ is a hybrid, it **does not have a single native region**. Instead, it would have been developed in a horticultural setting, likely in Europe or North America, where lily breeding is common. Its characteristics reflect a mix of genetic traits from its parent species, which could have origins in various locations across Europe and Asia.
