Lily Viewing in Georgia
The following viewing site was received via email:
I own a tract of land in Harris County, GA which has been in my family since the 1830s. It is on both sides of Flat Shoals Creek and contains a large population of Hymenocallis Coronaria, perhaps the largest compact population in Georgia. It has been studied by Dr. Larry Davenport. I have placed a Conservation Easement on the property, donated to The Georgia Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, Inc. and have the property willed to them.
