Lilies are my favorite flowers! Especially tiger lilies! And I'm not a very good green thumb... in fact I've killed most plants that people have gotten me over the years. But my step-mom bought me some lilies to plant in my new flower garden and I was surprised when the came up!!! They are almost ready to bloom and I do the same thing... "Just don't touch them, and they will live..." Haha! Beautiful post and poem!
