Lilium carniolicum, commonly called golden apple or Carniolan lily, is a lily native to the Balkans, as well as to Austria and northeastern Italy (Veneto + Friuli-Venezia Giulia).

The species is named after the historical region of Carniola, comprising parts of modern-day Slovenia, where it is most abundant.

[1][2][3][4] Its flowers vary in colour from red to yellow, speckled on the bottom with black dots.

In general, yellow is predominant in the southern part of the range.
