Each holiday has a certain tradition that is carried from one generation to the next. Easter has its share, with egg decorating, egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, sunrise church services, and of course the Easter Lily.
Lilium longiflorum is the Latin name for the Easter Lily. It is native to the southern island of Japan.
Before 1941, the majority of Easter Lily bulbs were exported from Japan to the United States. The commercial bulb production shifted to the United States after World War II.
In 1996, over 11 million Easter Lily bulbs were shipped to commercial green houses in the United States and Canada.
