Be Ready Georgia Outdoor Perennial Flower Art
The Easter lily species, Lilium longiflorum, is an outdoor perennial flower native to Japan’s Ryukyu Islands. Seafaring traders took the bulbs to other points worldwide, and by the 1800s, the flower became a popular symbol of Easter in Christian churches.
Easter lily bulbs were first brought to the United States by a World War I soldier returning from Bermuda, who smuggled a suitcase filled with bulbs home to Oregon in 1919. The bulbs he gave to family and friends were so well-adapted to the region that commercial production soon followed.
Japan led the world in Easter lily bulb production until their supply was interrupted by World War II, which gave Oregon growers a chance to compete. Today, 95 percent of the world’s Easter lily bulbs are grown on farms along the Washington-Oregon border, and they’re shipped worldwide to greenhouses for potting and “forcing” into bloom in time for Easter.
