Every spring, I plant a Lenten lily along the garden path to brighten my morning walks.

She tucked a small bead lily behind her ear before the ceremony, thinking of the forest where it grew.

She tucked a sprig of lily-of-the-valley into the lapel of her coat before the ceremony.

She brought a bouquet of Lily of the Valley to the ceremony.

She arranged a single tiger-lily in a small glass vase by the window.

She added an atamasco lily to the border to brighten the shade garden.

The old gardener spent the morning carefully removing debris from around the pond lily.

Gardeners often list the day lily as a low-maintenance perennial in their plant guides.

The gardener carefully transplanted the Atamosco lily to a sunnier spot in the border.

The pond was dotted with a single white water-lily that reflected the moonlight.
