Magic

We've had a long, cold and snowy winter, and this is the first week we've had daytime temperatures above freezing. The last of the snow is almost gone, but they are predicting more tomorrow. The only flowers that are up are snowdrops. The crocuses are usually blooming by now, but there is no sign of them or the daffodils. The only thing starting to poke their heads up are the The Magic Lilies (also called Surprise Lilies). They send up their foliage in the spring. Then it all dies off and there is no sign of them until they shoot up their flower stalks in August. They come up and bloom very quickly, in only a couple of day's time, which is why they are called Magic or Surprise Lilies. Their flowers are a beautiful pink. (See comments.) A little weed next to it is turning green also. Why are the weed always the first to turn green?
