Canada Lily

 When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.       Chinese Proverb

Lilies are the second most favorite flower in the world, second to the Rose. You will often see them at weddings and in arrangements across the globe. This Lily is native to North America. The Canada Lily is one of the nodding Lilies,  they hang downward from their stem. The American Indians would gather the buds and roots to eat.... I imagine they are similar to squash blossoms which are used today in cooking.
