A story about me and this plant:
When i was six or seven my grandmother gave me a lily and taught how to plant this well meanwhile she offered me a mission to keep the lily alive in 2 months then she gave me a favor in return. After that, I take good care about the lily, watering them every single day and putting them in places where they will receive good light. At the last, I learned how to take care them well and got my reward in return, that was a really good experience in my childhood.
