Easter Lilies, A Coastal Treasure
Bill Ferry, spokesman for the Lily Research Foundation announced the launch of their updated web site www.easterlily.net. The site has a fresh look as well as more links to information about the planting, growing and harvesting the beautiful Lily.On either side of the border between Oregon and California, and within view of the Pacific Ocean, the soil and climate that is ideal to the raising of Lily bulbs. This is the same bulb that is later greenhouse grown to produce such magnificent flowers.This small region, no more than a half mile wide by, perhaps, 12 miles long, contains such a superior mix of soil and weather that virtually all Lily bulbs in North America are grown here. This is productive land. Seldom touched by freeze or drought, the soils have their beginnings in the nearby ocean. This verdant land was once ocean floor.According to Lee Riddle, Director of Horticulture at the Lily Research Foundation, the goal of breed improvement is to "develop more compact plants with better leaf retention and longer flower longevity." (Source: Woodruff Imberman -ChesapeakeHome MediaInc. http://www.chesapeakehome.com/ Garden/ easterlilies/ easterlilies.asp)But,
producing quality, consistent lily bulbs proved to be an exact and demanding science with specific climatic requirements. Over the years, the total number of Lily bulb producers dwindled down to just ten farms in a small, isolated coastal region straddling the Oregon-California border. This region, called the Lily Capital of the World, produces nearly all of the bulbs for the blooming potted Lily market.From the fields to the greenhouse to your home, the Lily remains the traditional, time-honored flower of Easter. Symbolic of a resurrection, Lilies rise from earthy graves as scaly bulbs, and bloom into majestic flowers that embody the beauty, grace and tranquility of the special region from which they originate.Bulbs by the caseload are trucked to various regions of the U.S. and Canada where they either remain briefly in cold storage to simulate a false winter (cold storage is necessary to trigger the next growth cycle) or arrive via refrigerated truck to a grower who then immediately pots the bulb and begins the forced cycle of growth in time for Easter.
