    This flower belong to my grandmother and she gave some to my mom who gave some to each of us girls and her sister. we were told its a lily but when ready about lilies some say it might not be a true lily because of how it grows. i have include picts of it last year in my garden. it starts by looking like weeds then a large patch of grass then the flower comes. It has a bulb so it comes back year after year. i started with a small pot of this flower now i have enough to plant each bulb separate and have a whole section of my garden covered in it. when the flower blooms they bloom one at a time or 2 at a time. no more than that. can you help me identify it. it multiplies quite well. you can view my flower picts here at flickr by clicking on the link. thank you pamela
