LILY. The white lily stands for purity. LILY is the family name of about 2,000 species of plants. Most are herbs (plants without woody stems). The family includes onion, asparagus, tulip, and hyacinth. The name comes from a group of perennials of the genus Lilium, often called the true lilies. Of the 80 or 90 species known, about 24 are natives of North America, about 50 are Asian, and 12 are European. True lilies have underground bulbs made of overlapping scales which contain stored food. Their flowers (except for rare double forms) have three sepals and three petals so nearly alike that all six often are called petals. The blossoms grow at the top of a leafy stalk. They are of many colors and shapes. Among the most beautiful are the white Madonna (Easter) lily; the Japanese Turk’s-cap with orange flowers spotted with red; the clustered dark-orange, purplish-spotted tiger lily; the scarlet coral lily; the gold-banded lily of Japan; and the pink Speciosum lily.
To, Veronika Gorlova, 234 Kingston Avenue, New Yourk. USA 25th January, 2016 Dear Zlata, Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. You asked me to tell you about the way I celebrated the New Year. Well, it was a lot of fun. I went with my friends to my house, we celebrated until six o'clock in the morning. By the way, how do you celebrate this wonderful holiday? I hope to receive an answer in the next letter. Unfortunately, I'd better go now as I've got loads of homework to do. Take care and keep in touch! All the best, Veronika.
