The seed cases in close-up. As seen in the photo, each seed has a "wing" which makes it easier to be carried by the winds.
It takes eight years for one individual lily to have flowers and thus to reproduce. The plant dies after that and the cycle of life is handed down to the next generation. The lily has to wait for another eight years to see its offspring complete their life cycles.
