Lilies grow in the Philippines!

      Yes, you read that right. We have our own species of lily which is endemic. Another reason why we should save our remaining forests. It seems to me that many people do not know that many of our native plants are also very appealing. There are also not that much available information in this species of plant in the Philippines.
     
       The scientific name of the said species of lily is Lilium philippinense. I hope that there will come a day that the species is still not yet extinct when the Filipinos will appreciate its beauty.
