Lilies

Herbaceous flowers of the genus Lilium, noted for their large tepals and fragrant scent. They grow from bulbs. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family (Liliaceae). They are important as large showy flowering garden plants. Additionally, they are important culturally and in literature in much of the world. Some species are sometimes grown or harvested for the edible bulbs. The species in this genus are the true lilies. Many other plants exist with "lily" in the common English name, some of which are quite unrelated to the true lilies.

Yes, the sap of the peace lily is poisonous. They contain oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation of the skin, mouth, tongue, and throat, and results in swelling of the throat, breathing difficulties, burning pain, and stomach discomfort if ingested. While the effects in humans are relatively mild, it can be fatal for pets in small amounts.

How can you eradicate small caterpillars that are infesting your canna lilies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A caterpillar called a leaf roller is a common problem to cannas. Regular applications of an insecticide soap purchased from a garden store can help control, but to truly eradicate the leaf roller, three or four weekly applications of BT, bacillus thuringiensis, will stop this pests life cycle. The leaf roller ingests the product while eating the folded leaf and can no longer eat afterwards, dying from starvation. BT only affects this type of caterpillar while it is harmless to other beneficial insects. Because it has to eat the BT to be effective, you may find evidence of the pest's leavings inside when releasing the caterpillar's webbing from a leaf, but the leaf roller itself will be dead or gone. Application of these two suggestions should be done in late evenings. Both the soap and the BT are much friendlier to the environment than true poisons by selectively controlling this pest. Use one and wait to see results before applying the other.

Are lilies orchids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The short answer is no.

A more complex answer is that Sprekelia is sometimes called the orchid amaryllis, but it belongs with the Amaryllidaceae family, as does the Belladonna Lily that is most often called 'amaryllis'. Neither belong to the family 'orchideaceae'.

What is the biblical meaning of lilies of the field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The phrase the lilies of the field is part of Jesus' sermon on the mount as recorded at Matthew 6:26-34 (compare Luke 12:27-31.)

At this point in his sermon he was encouraging his listeners to put the kingdom of God first in their lives, and not to worry too much about other daily/mundane necessities, such food and, in this particular instance, clothing.

"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" ~King James Version.

Some have suggested that Jesus may have been referring to a particular type of wild flower when he said the lilies of the field. Alternatively, as the context indicates, perhaps he was just referring to vegetation in general. Either way, he was illustrating his good counsel with an example drawn from nature, using something that all people, from their own knowledge and experience, can understood and appreciate.

Jesus therefore used the poetic phrase the lilies of the field as part of his well-known Sermon on the Mount, the overall objective of which was to teach his followers to have a more spiritual attitude and outlook, and, in this particular context cited, to remind them that God knows and will always satisfy the needs of those who look to God.

What is the theme of lilies of the field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The theme is pretty much what the book is about. This book is about a man named Homer Smith, a southern man, who comes across some German nuns who need his help. The head mother of the nuns, Mother Maria Marthe, believes that Homer is the answer to her prayers and asks him to build a church for them. It's a book of faith.

When can reserection lilies be transplanted?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can, but it is a little trickier than some transplants. The corms are quite deep, 10 to 12" inches deep. It is best to wait until bloom season is done, then look for a place with heavy corm growth. You will dig down, and then carefully split some corms off of this clump. The foliage is likely to die off when it is transplanted, but as long as you were gentle with them, they will grow back.

Asked by Wiki User

Consider The Lilies - Joyful Singers

Consider the lilies

They don't toil or spin

And there's not a king

With more splendor than them

Consider the sparrow

They don't plant or sow

But they're fed by the master

Who watches him grow

We have a heavenly father above

With eyes full of mercy

And a heart full of love

He really cares when

Your head is bowed low

Consider the lilies

And then you will know

May I introduce you

To this friend of mine

Who hangs out the stars

And tells the sun when to shine

He kisses the flowers

Each morning with dew

But He's not too busy

To love me and you

We have a heavenly father above

With eyes full of mercy

And a heart full of love

He really cares when

Your head is bowed low

Consider the lilies

And then you will know
