Pretty! And blooming on Easter is overrated -- just to much competition by all those somehow perfectly timed bulp arrangement baskets from the store...

Thanks Sonja, I cut the stem and brought it in, and put a little sugar in the water -- (for longer life) wish you could enjoy the aroma this one blossom gives off.

The season for so-called Easter Lilies is actually months off, naturally, from the forced bloom plants available for purchased around the holiday. They normally bloom, along with other Asiatic Lilies, in June-Sept.

Nicely captured!

Let me explain why it may be blooming early. In the cold winter of February, I brought the large pot into a warm garage. Stayed there until the soil out side warmed, then took the pot out to the garden, where I assumed it would have a head start -- apparently it worked.
Thanks for the comments.

Yep, that's how you force bloom 'em =) Glad it worked for you!

We get leftover "Easter" lilies from the church and put them in the garden. They started blooming about a week ago (late May).

Thanks for the comment Ron, you lucky. Isn't the fragrance just out of this world! I put a pinch of sugar in the vase when I bring a stem in and they last and last. Have one on the table now.
