The tiny variety, called the thermal lily, is only 3/4 of an inch wide! It has been saved from extinction by this botanist.

  1. Man, if I saved a lily from extinction, I would get so much mileage out of that. "Wash the dishes, are you kidding? I saved a lily from extinction, remember that?"

  3. "How freaking endangered can I ginormous lily get? Look at that monster! It takes a person of great sensitivity to be looking out for the thermal lily."
