Consider the Lillies of the Field

 How many of you knew that the lily of the field that Jesus mentions is red, not white?  Most of our lilies are white.  The lily of the field is closer to a poppy than a lily.  It is short... only about 6 inches tall.  It carpets the fields all throughout the Holy Lands of Israel and Jordan in the spring.  I haven't been able to verify this but Asniv (a friend from Jordan) told me that they can not move the bulbs, or they die.  They can't be planted and only propagate in the wild.  The fields are entrancing when they are carpeted in the spring with these little red flower.  They grow indiscriminately along with yellow mustard and some little pink and lavender flowers.

Consider the lilies of the field... how they grow...

They toil not neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory, was not arrayed like unto one of these.
