Ours didn't bloom (or at least they haven't bloomed yet)

Every specimen from former neighbors and originating with the grandmother of one of them, the St. Joseph's lily is in bloom everywhere around here, but ours are showing no signs of flowering. I like this description, said to be by Elizabeth Lawrence. St. Joseph's day is March 19 and that's about when the first flowers began appearing. I like their scent just as much as I like that of the freesia or rose geranium. The site for St. Joseph and his attributes also has wonderful very large gallery of holy pictures. This site has an entire directory of patron saints.
