A few years ago, I went to a flower show with a friend where I was given a “freebie” lily bulb in a plastic bag. I had no idea what it was or what it would look like, but I took it home and planted it. That year it grew, but didn’t bloom, but the next year it was stunning! Since then I have found that it doesn’t bloom every year, but when it does, it is gorgeous! Each blossom lasts only one day, then a couple days later another one opens.  It’s not a native, but I love this lily!
