A beautiful lily pictured during a Sunday walk through Evenley Wood gardens in south Northamptonshire. The waxy white texture on the petals is amazing. This wood is well worth a visit with 150 varieties of Lily growing outdoors. It’s one of the largest collections in the UK. There are also many species roses rambling through trees. Check out their web site, www.evenleywoodgarden.co.uk Featured in Glorious Lilies June 20th 2009 I can’t claim credit for this one, it was taken by my husband on his Panasonic Lumix G1

This picture was taken from my garden. Lilies are believed to have been under cultivation longer than any other ornamental flower, having existed in gardens 3,000 years ago.Floral designs, particularly of Lilies, made their appearance and became very popular in the 18th dynasty of Egypt.
I like gardening. I grow many different types of flowers. One of these types are lilies. In ancient Greece, people regarded lily flower as a symbol of sexuality. The lily flower also had an important role to play in the old folktales. As per the tradition, it is said one always approached an expectant mother with a lily and a rose flower. (The lily would symbolize a boy and the rose would represent a girl.) Thus, if the mother picks the rose, it would be a baby girl or if she would pick the lily, it would be a baby boy!
