We picked this beauty up a few days ago, and it will be given to my mother-in-law in a few days as a birthday/mother's day gift. When we bought them the tops were just barely sitting above the lip of the vase, maybe by an inch. They've been growing like a weed! They smell amazing, and I'm planing on getting one for myself. Lilies are my favorite cut flower because of the fragrance, so the idea of having a living arrangement of these gorgeous little creatures is very appealing to me.

Thank you for pointing that out. I suck at plant identification and the packaging and labels say nothing about what they are, so I followed my nose. They smell very similar to the stargazer lilies I get every now and then.

@mirakraz these do well in the ground too they don't last long but a great early spring bloom to help make you anxious for other blooms to come, bloom about the same time as tulips. I wish the leaves at least stayed around but they too yellow up and die off for the season, but mine have come back for now three years!
