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.

What season do Calla Lillies blossom?
Calla Lilies typically bloom in May and June. However, they can often be incited to bloom at other times of the year by raising them in a greenhouse and controlling the photo period so that the flowers believe it is time to bloom even if it isn't outside.
You accidentally mowed some western red lilies will these come back on their own?
They should, if the bulbs are intact and in the ground.
How close do you plant casablanca lilies together?
All oriental lillies may be planted as close as six inches apart. Most are happier with eight inches. In the case of this particular variety, one "bulb", will, in time, create a small colony of blooming plants over a period of at least three to four years. If this is the desired result, plant about twelve inches apart. Enrich the soil with organic matter at planting, mulch with grass or compost, as any type of pine bark nuggets or mulch will stunt the growth-and almost assuredly prevent the formation of any colony of these exquisite, fragrant lillies.
Are Easter lilies poisonous to cats?

Climax of The Lilies Of The Field?
Perhaps, Christ the Savior was saying that if all is lost that have faith that God will provide because he made us and did not make a human mistake, he planted us here.
AnswerIn this statement, Jesus once again repeats a frequently-used teaching: Do not worry. Do not be influenced by the ways of the world that make you feel inadequate or second-class.
Jesus spoke out to the poor and oppressed people of the times - these poor people were often wonderful people, loved God and led good lives, but were made to feel totally inadequate by the rich, who paraded in fine clothes and showed off their wealth.
In comparing these people to the lilies of the field, Jesus made it plain that the lilies did not worry about clothes or fine riches, and yet they were more beautiful than even the richest man the Jews could think of - King Solomon in all his glory. Jesus then went on to comment - if God looks after the lilies and gives them beauty, then how much more beautiful are we who are made in God's image.
This teaching is as much relevant today as it was then. When we look at celebrities who have had thousands of pounds'/dollars' worth of cosmetic surgery to make them look 'beautiful' the result is a grotesque parody of what they were before. I will mention no names but one can think of a recently deceased pop star, and an ageing American comedienne to get the picture. Yet, looking into the shrivelled and worn face of someone like Mother Theresa of Calcutta, one can see a hidden beauty that is far more profound than any cosmetic surgery could ever produce as it reflects the love of God and Holy Spirit dwelling in that person. So, Jesus teaches us not to feel inadequate about ourselves, to trust God to look after us, and to search for hidden beauty rather than superficial flippand transient beauty that costs fortunes - money which could be better used to fed the poor.
Can a peace lily be pink or purple?
Peace lilies have flowers that are white and during their lives they turn a greenish colour and after another couple of days they turn brown, which is the sign of wilting. A peace lily is not pink or purple, its real colour is white. If you mean just lilies and not only peace lilies, well, of course they can be pink or purple!
Where can you find 'Consider the lilies' in the Bible?
In the Sermon on the Mount Matthew 6: 28 ....... 25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31"Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble...........
