Grandpa's Lillies

My Grandpa Parks had a green thumb for sure.  One of his favorites were the Lillies.  Over the years, he started with one bulb and has grown to multiply them by literally the thousands.  They started at his home in Papalote Estates in Lubbock, TX.  Our family has named them the "Parks Lillies".  My Dad originally got some bulbs from my Grandpa for our house in San Antonio in the 1980's.  When we moved to Round Rock in 1991, some of the bulbs came with us and were planted at our house where they are still in bloom every year!  When I moved into our first house in 2003, Dad gave me some of the bulbs and they have been blessing us with beauty as well.  We also have split these bulbs countless times for family, friends, and neighbors.  Almost every Grandchild (3 generations) has some to share, and they all started with the love of my Grandpa and his one plant over 30 years ago.  The bulbs bloom twice per year and always around our Anniversary.  This continues to remind me that Grandpa is watching over us everyday.  Love you Grandpa!
