“Giant lily”

As I was walking through the woods, large lilies were blooming along the road. This large white lily was a familiar plant to people. People ate the big bulbs. I still see traces of harvesting bulbs. In this woods, many of these white lilies still bloom among the lush grass in the summer.  [JULY 2021]
