WCU community members launch initiative to bring Cullowhee lily back
The memories and lore surrounding a white flower with six petals once so common in the Cullowhee valley that it was called the Cullowhee lily have inspired Western Carolina University alumni and community members to bring the flower back.
The WCU Alumni Association, the Office of the Chancellor and WCU Facilities Management grounds crews are partnering to reestablish the Cullowhee lily in the community, starting with the WCU campus. Organizers of the initiative, which is still in early planning stages, are seeking additional partners and supporters, and plan to link the effort to the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund, said Susan Belcher at a luncheon held Wednesday, March 28, as part of the celebration of her husband’s installation as WCU’s 11th chancellor.
