especially white star-gazer lilies--I love them. Last year in late winter we bought bulbs and planted them in pots to grow in our home where they would breathe the freshness of spring into each day. My hope was that they would be in full bloom when we brought home our new baby in June--and that lilies blooming on his birthday would be a tradition throughout his life. They were beautiful. Absolutely. When they died, I cut down the stems and put the pots down in the basement to winter. This year, I have brought them upstairs and started watering them once again in hopes of more spring beauty. However, my flower pots are inhabited by a different white creature. Each morning, I shuffle to the dining room east window where we keep our seedlings and plants, and each morning I am greeted by little white mushrooms in my lily beds. I open the blinds to let in the glorious sunlight, and within an hour those little fun guys are withered down to the dust. But I know they'll be back again tomorrow.
