Despite the 6-fold lily-like appearance, it's actually an iris, with 3 petals and 3 petal-like sepals, hence the slight asymmetry.

NJ - West Orange: Thomas Edison National Historical Park - Glenmont Thomas Edison National Historical Park comprises of two properties in West Orange: the second Edison Laboratories complex, located at 211 Main Street, and Edison's residence, Glenmont, located about 1/2-mile down the road in Llewellyn Park.

Glenmont, a Queen Anne-style home originally designed by architect Henry Hudson Holly, was built between 1880 and 1882 for Henry Pedder in Llewellyn Park, thought to be the country's first planned residential community, which was founded along the first range of the Watchung Mountains in 1853 by Llewellyn Solomon Haskell. Pedder was forced to surrender the estate after it was discovered that he funded its construction with embezzle funds from the Arnold Constable Company. Edison purchased the distressed asset in 1886 for $125,000 and moved in with his second wife, Mina, and his three children from his first marriage. Mina raised three children of her own with Thomas in the house, including future New Jersey governor Charles Edison. The house originally comprised of 23 rooms with cutting edge features for its time including with gravity-convection central heat, indoor flush toilets, and hot and cold piped water. Edison added six more rooms and electrical wiring. The house, which is open to the public, retains all its original furnishings in an Eastlake style interior.
