Murtagon. All I could find fitting this is martagon, also mortegon, martagan, and martigon. With all those alternative spellings, it's probable that murtagon exists, too. It's also called the red-cap lily, turk's-cap lily, and the turk's cap (Lilium martagon or Lilium superbum). Martagon is also Spanish for cunning, artful, clever. Murtagon is a famous artist. The red cap reminds me of the stereotypical artist's beret. prion ---
