ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lilium

Lilium is a type of flower that grows from a bulb. It has big, pretty petals that come in lots of colors like white, pink, red, orange, and yellow.

To start growing lilium, you need to plant the bulb in the ground. This is like putting a little seed into the dirt so it can grow.

Once the bulb is in the ground, it needs lots of water and sunshine to help it grow big and strong. Just like when you drink water and eat food to help your body grow, the lilium needs these things too.

As the lilium grows, it starts to sprout a stem and leaves from the bulb. The stem is like a little straw that helps bring water and food to the flower.

Eventually, the lilium will grow big enough to produce a flower. This is the prettiest part of the lilium! The petals of the flower are soft and delicate, and they have a sweet smell.

Different types of lilium can grow to be different sizes and shapes. Some are tall and skinny, like a lollipop stick, and others are short and wide, like a small bowl. But all lilium are beautiful in their own way!
