Kentucky Color - White Daffodils?

Click on headline for story plus photo(s)

By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester
Kentucky Division of Forestry

I'm not much of a flower man, but I do remember growing up that folks on "The Ridge" called the yellow daffodils that bloomed in early spring, March Lilies.

These white ones that bloomed in mid-April to early May, they called Field Lilies. Now I know, they aren't lilies but that is what my folks, friends and neighbors called them.

I had an island field of about 4 acres with a few of these growing in it. After a few years of tilling, the field was almost completely covered. What a sight that was with the green woods all around a carpet of white. -Billy Joe Fudge
