The
lily is one of the most celebrated of all flowers, praised by
poets for its pristine whiteness, innocence and fragrance. The
lily family, in fact, is one of the largest and most prominent
of the plant kingdom. Notable lilies, which probably first come

Lilies
are native to the northern temperate regions. Their range in the Old
World extends across much of Europe, the north Mediterranean, across
most of Asia to Japan, south to the Nilgiri mountains in India, and
south to the Philippines. In the New World they extend from southern
Canada through much of the United States. A few species formerly included
within this genus have now been placed in other genera. These include
Cardiocrinum and Nomocharis. They
are commonly adapted to either woodland habitats, often montane,
or sometimes to grassland habitats. A few can survive in marshland
and a single one is known to live as an epiphyte (L. arboricola).
In general they prefer moderately acidic or lime-free soils.
