Thanks for the Lily Link! My favorite Lily will always be the ‘Stargazer.’ It has an amazing history. 6 BILLION stems are used each year; mainly in the Wedding floral industry! (I have an expanding patch of ‘Stargazers’ in one of my perennial beds, for cutting.)

There’s a great book by Amy Stewart (no relation to Martha!) about the history of common (to us, now) flowers. ‘Flower Confidential.’ ‘The Drunken Botanist’ is also fun. Her books are great reads, and she recently started an historical fiction mystery series about one of the first female police officers/investigators. I can’t recommend her books enough!
