WHAT ARE THEY? The delightful plants arrived in Europe in the 1600's and soon made their home on the island of Guernsey, from where they get one of their alternative names the 'Guernsey Lily' . Later they were called 'Jewel Lily' in reference to the sparkling crystaline flecks in their petals that make them dance in the sunlight.
