North American Lily Society

The North American Lily Society (NALS) was organized in 1947 to promote interest in the genus Lilium. The society has active members from almost every state and province in North America, as well as from many countries around the world. Joining the society is a great way to learn about lilies.

Thank you for visiting the NALS website. We hope to count you among our network of friends!
