I think the lily is such a pretty flower!  They are tall perennials with varying heights
yes they are a appealing flower
Many of them are native to the temperate northern hemisphere, and some extend into the northern subtropcs
okay they thrive more in cooler weather then
I never realized that the lily is important in much of the world in both culture and literature!  
arn't lilies sort of have something to do with death?
I've never heard that!  Strangely there are other plants with the word "lily" in their name, but they aren't actually related to the actual lily!
