This lily was a gift to my mother when my father passed away in 2006. I’m not saying that it has never bloomed since then, but I have never seen it bloom, other than when it was first gifted to Mom. I’ll be the first to tell you that she had a green thumb…I DO NOT!!! Exasperated with the necessity to clip off MORE dead leaves, I nearly…I mean VERY NEARLY tossed it into our compost heap at the edge of our backyard LAST WEEK! A plant on its own timetable could not be rushed along, but could be nurtured. There’s a difference. There’s more to this story, but suffice to say, I’m glad I helped it along just one more time.
