Our science teacher preached on how fortunate we were to be able to visit this man's gardens and that he made around $15,000 each time he came up with a new lily. He was special...my teacher wouldn't listen...I was trying to tell her that my mother and I visited that man on a regular basis and that he gave Mama lilies for her garden all the time. <BR/>Sad ending...he killed himself. I can't remember the reason. Maybe loneliness after losing his wife. <BR/>Well that is my lily story! Enjoyed your photos :)ShabbyInTheCityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091272622098491527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34167457.post-6107439523742252222008-07-26T22:25:00.000-04:002008-07-26T22:25:00.000-04:00That must have been a really great tour.
