Easter Iceland [a poem, now in Spanish and English]

Flowers play an important role during the Easter period. Lily plants can be found on the altar, and in many homes, with the beautiful trumpet-shaped white flowers symbolize purity, virtue, innocence, hope and life - the spiritual essence of Easter. But few know how these flowers, their part of the game came for the holidays. Easter lilies are native to the Ryukyu Islands in southern Japan, and the islands of Okinawa, Amani and Erabu. It was described in an old Japanese garden book, published in 1681, and a drawing of the lily are found in another old gardening book published in 1719. The flowers were imported to England in 1819. In 1853 a Japanese missionary, she gave a friend in St. George, Bermuda, which sells it later. The Bermuda Lily was introduced to America in 1880, but a severe virus in 1898 destroyed the Bermuda Lily industry. Lily bulb production came to the U.S. in the late 1800s and was centered in Japan and the southern United States after 1898th When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 cut off the Japanese source of bulbs. As a result, the value of lily bulbs greatly increased, and many people, the growing lilies as a hobby were, went into business. The Easter lilies were then cash in as “white gold”, and producers everywhere trying to harvest. By 1945 there were about 1,200 growers up and down along the Pacific coast from Vancouver, Canada to Long Beach, California. Over the years reduced the number of Easter Lily bulb producers just ten farms in a remote coastal region on the Oregon-California border called the Easter Lily Capital of the World. Lilies are found to be prominently mentioned in the Bible. When Eve from the Garden of Eden she shed real tears of remorse, repentance, and tears sprang up from these lilies. Often called “white-robed apostles of hope,” lilies were also growing in the garden of Gethsemane after Christ’s crucifixion. White lilies are to have sprung up where drops of Christ’s sweat fell to the ground from the cross. Traditional Easter Lilies are arranged in churches to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In most Catholic countries are white lilies dedicated to Mary, and became a symbol of purity since the 12th Century. In early paintings, the Angel Gabriel is pictured giving the Virgin Mary a branch of pure white lilies, announcing that she is the mother of the Christ. to bring in other paintings, saints depicted vases of white lilies to Mary and the infant Jesus. It is said that when Mary’s grave was opened, show Thomas that her body had been accepted into the sky, it was filled with these flowers. Lilies was the emblem of the Annunciation, the white petals significant her body and the golden anthers her soul. The flower is also with St. Catherine, of her pagan father converted to Christianity when the odor previously associated Lily made a wonderful perfume. is one of the biggest challenges for the Easter lily producers today to get all plants bloom at the same time and just in time for Easter! This is especially difficult because Easter comes on a different date each year. Growers measure the progress of Easter lilies every day. You are looking for certain signs of development, appear as the first buds, new leaves unfold, the number of that every day, and the height of the plants. These progressions determine if the plants are ready for sale just in time. For example, by counting the leaves on each plant, growers can predict how many days until the plant blooms. When the plants grow too slowly or too fast, the breeders have to adjust the humidity and the temperature of the greenhouse. If some plants develop faster than others, these facilities must be placed in a cooler to catch up the other plants. Today, other flowers come to with Easter, such as tulips, irises, lilies are associated, and even roses. Generally, spring colors such as yellow and orange are very popular. You can even send flowers online with sites such as for a hand tied bouquet of Easter.
