Mom has worked hard to create a little "secret garden" in our own back yard. I love the flowers that add such beauty there. Every "Arizona Spring" - which is mid-January - China Lillies bloom in our garden. It is such a treat! But their beauty is not the only treat - I learned that they have a special place in Mom's heart. Mom had China Lillies growing around her house where she grew up. She believes that those China Lillies were planted by her Grandmother Clement. Her Grandmother Clement lived in the home until she died. Mom's family then moved into her Grandma' Clement's house. Mom was seven years old. She always remembers the China Lillies! When Mom's childhood home was torn down, Aunt Pearl took some of the China Lillies and transplanted them to her home. When Mom moved into this home, she took some of the China Lillies from Aunt Pearl's home and transplanted them here. So these are third generation China Lillies!
