I love the beautiful flower Lilium, its my favorite. 
I read that it has flowering plants frowing from bulbs all with large flowers
Correct, plus the advantage with bulbs is that they regrow and you can dig them up and replant them elsewhere.
Lilies are members of the lilium family
ooo really ? I didn't know that, are there others ?
I am not sure but I do know that the flowers in this group range in color from white, yellow,  orange, pink red, and purple.  so they are quite a beautiful assortment
Yes, they are; I also love gardenia flowers, they smell so heavenly. 
I read that it has been cultivated in China for at least a thousand years
Wow, didn't know they were from China, I thought they might be from England. 
I also read that the flowers of Liliums are often very fragrant
