復活節的百合

前一星期買的百合在復活節期間簡直是盛開, 真係好應節!!

原來依種百合係復活節百合!!!

回想小學時, 由於是基督教學校, 每年老師都會教我們用手工紙做百合花及畫復活蛋!!由那時開始我便被百合的清麗脫俗所吸引!!!

The genus Lilium are herbaceous flowering plants growing 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.^[1] 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.
