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.

It"s paraphrased from the Bible- They turn not, neither do they spin... seems to espouse an inactive or passive life style. Neither the book or the motion picture remotely fit into the science fiction category. Religious fiction yes, not sci-fi, I khnwo what y ou are thinking of, maybe one of Phil Spectors older ideas. Stand at the Greely Monument at any even hour and observe. This was the inspiration for a number of Spector hits including the punch line of(Be my Baby) and arguably Da Doo Ron Ron which makes light of a heart attack. BNut there is not connection between Spector:s occult angles of attack and the Lilies of the Field- sounds like something cemetery oriented to me.

Calla rhizomes need to be split after they've finished blooming and leaves turn yellow or die off. The rhizome needs a chance to dry out before being split. For the colored variety, be very careful not to let it sit in moisture or they may rot! Take them out of the soil and set them in a dark, dry place for a few days. Then, pry the rhizomes apart.
For the larger, white calla (prefers moist soil), it won't rot. I would still recommend letting it dry out a bit before separating the bulbs.
