[oregonflora.org] Pollinators: The Cascade lily is pollinated by sphinx and doubtless other moths in the family Sphingidae. Nectar secretion and scent production are timed to their arrival at dusk. The open nature of the flower and copious nectar secretion attract many diurnal visitors including a variety of butterflies, bees, and flies, but these insects are not significant pollinators.
