Lily Flower

ByMaria


I like this Lily Flower particularly because it reminds me of my childhood in the Philippines. In our elementary school, the flag pole is surrounded with plants but I don’t know what type of plants they are. Anyway, I just recently find out that it is in the Lily family. The flower is also especially fragrant. The leaves are long, thick and green. It is taller than me back then. Every time we gather around the flag pole and sing the National Anthem, I see these beautiful lilies and it always makes my day.
I am just glad to see things that brings back happy memories.
