Lilies at Valley Grande Park

These delicate white lilies were still blooming at Valley Grande Park

a couple of weeks ago. They resemble the famous Cahaba River lilies

in Bibb County. Does anyone know what type of lily these are?

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
