The white lily, known scientifically as Lilium candidum, is a perennial flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. It features large, trumpet-shaped flowers that are typically white, often with a sweet fragrance. The plant can grow up to 3 feet tall and blooms in late spring to early summer. White lilies are often associated with purity and renewal, making them popular in gardens and floral arrangements. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun to partial shade. Additionally, these flowers are sometimes used in traditional medicine for their soothing properties.
