If you are interested, you can work through the North American Lily Society site to their database and find the background info on it. I have taken many pictures of it because it really is interesting.<BR/><BR/>After growing lilium since 1983, my wife and I have given up because of the lily leaf beetle.

I am learning a lot about flowers just from reading and seeing so many colors and kinds. I have allergies to many flowers, but am learning to plant some of the petunias that a neighbor gave me, in small areas through out the little beds so that it isn't so hard on my nose and breathing. <BR/><BR/>Jodi, thank you for being a blooming writer.BealcA's Padhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09261066809547407430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-45661904766857024092008-07-25T19:42:00.000-03:002008-07-25T19:42:00.000-03:00Summer was worth waiting for, Jodi.
