An Abundance of Lilies

Ranked #10,095 in Home & Garden, #132,554 overall | Donates to Big Cat Rescue, Peace First

When I began my hobby of flower photography, I realized just how many different forms of lily there are. Some examples include Day lilies, Calla (or Easter Lilies), Water Lilies, Lilies of the Valley, and even Jashua Trees and Yucca plants are lilies, believe it or not!

This Spring I visited some friends in Fairfax County, VA and they took me to visit Meadowlark Botanical Gardens which specializes in lilies. So I have included photos I took while at this park. What fun. We actually got caught in a down pour, but that's another story.

Lilies grow from bulbs. There are about 110 species in the lily or Liliaceae family. They prefer fairly acidic soil that is lime-free. They flower in late spring into summer.

Calla Lilies

Calla Lilies are also Known as Easter Lilies

Good for Sympathy Cards Too, also for Weddings and Funerals

Calla Lilies are famous for their trumpet shaped bloom. They are spectacular. They grow on long stems which are perfect for cut flowers. They are also pretty easy to grow. Callas are part of the Araceae family, which is not actually a lily after-all. They are native to South African marshes. When you grow them remember to water regularly.

I have a large artificial Calla Lily arrangement in my livingroom. Here is a photo of a live one I found in California. I have never seen one growing here in Colorado, where I live.

Day Lilies

Colors of Lilies

Day lilies only last one day, so they are rarely used for cut flowers. Day lilies are a great cash crop. They are cheap to plant and they spread like wildfire! So if you set aside enough land and plant some Day Lilies you will have plants to sell soon. This is a good idea for any family that wants to produce an income and become independent of corporate America.

Lilies of the Valley

The Scent of Spring

Lilies of the Valley are a popular garden plant. They have a heavenly fragrance!! I just love the smell of these tiny flowers. Be careful because they will spread all over. They are native to European and Asian woodlands.

Did you know that you can force a Lily of the Valley to bloom indoors in a pot? Have the scent of spring inside and even in off season. If you are interested in learning to grow them indoors click here.
