These bulbs recently flowered. I’ve had them growing in a pot for so long that I forgot what they were. I think the proper name is Lilium longiflorum.

People are always bringing these flowers into the hospital. I love them but they play havoc with the hay fever sufferers and they leave stains all over us. The yellow and orange varieties do anyway. They are a very beautiful flower and very popular around here. I used to grow Arum, Calla, Canna, Easter and Xmas lilies. Mum never liked them. She said it made her think of funerals. I always referred to them as the funeral flowers after that. I also have a vague memory of us having some white lilies in England in a vase. Mum put some aspirins in the water to help preserve them or something. Has anyone ever heard of this being done to flowers?

I also recall people putting the old copper pennies in the vase for the same reason.
