The lily
Aug-18-2011 By Types of flowers
Lilies are plants that stand out through perfume and softness. The plant comes from Europe and Asia and grows naturally in forests.
An old legend says that lilies appeared from Eva`s tears, when she was banished with Adam from the Garden of Eden.
The lily(Covallaria majalis) is a small plant 20-30cm with big leafs, oval and sharpened to the tip. The strain ends with a “bouchet” of 6-20 small white flowers. It blooms during the spring.
Lily tips:
- lilies are toxic plants so do not eat them
- they prefer shadowed places but can be placed in the sun if the soil is moist enough.
- before planting lilies add a layer of sand or soil with leaves.
- best planted in october
