The lovely
white trumpet lily has been enjoying a great favor in being included as
a principal item for church decoration for quite some time. A perfect gift
of nature to beautify our Easter. But its acceptance in America, as such,
dates back around the 1800s. It came in with the rise in the Easter observances
by the Protestants in America. And, strange, it took some more time to
find a widespread acceptance. For, the early Americans those days were
not used to seeing a lily waiting to be picked up for the Easter decor.
The native American lilies, for example, the garden or, Madonna lily, bloom
in the early summer. Though it could be forced to bloom earlier using the
hothouse conditions, the hassles associated did not allow it to be accepted
widely.
