In China and Japan, they have appeared on the dining table for a thousand years. On the island of Santorini, ceramics have been found bearing virtually the same images of lilies that are found on the ceramics of the ancient Minoan culture of Crete. There are scholars who see these Minoan ceramics as remains of the famous Atlantis. Yet older than the Minoan culture, which disappeared 3,500 years ago, is the Hebrew word for lily, "shusan."
Without question, the lily is a flower with a history stretching back to the beginning of time.
Sold in both the fall and the spring, lilies should be planted as soon as possible after purchase. Among other uses, lilies can be placed in borders. They make perfect partners for perennial plants. This is not surprising since lilies act just the same as perennial plants. Because of the colours lilies generally possess (yellow, pink, orange, red and white, with all the possible colours in between), blue and purple-flowering perennial plants make favourite neighbours
