Lilies

Lilies are the fourth most popular flower in the world, and it’s quite easy to see why. The lily flower is one of the most beautiful, versatile, and fragrant blooms, and serves as a symbol of love, truth, good fortune, rebirth, and motherhood. The humble yet vibrant lily is revered in cultures around the globe. In China, lilies are one of the most popular flowers for weddings and are thought to bring about 100 years of love in a marriage. Even the ancient Egyptians recognized the lily’s power, and associated it closely with Ishtar, the goddess of fertility. In Western culture, perhaps as a testament to the beauty and luck tied to these precious blooms, “Lily” is the most prevalent of all flower names for girls.

 

Lilies: The Perfect Flower For Your Next Occasion

The lily flower is one of the most popular blooms for weddings, particularly as a part of a beautiful boutonniere, corsage, or in a bouquet for the bride or bridesmaids. Large and magnificent, the lily is also perfect for centerpieces.

In addition to weddings, the bold and highly fragrant lily is commonly given as a gift or as sympathy flowers, most likely because of their unique ability to instantly brighten any room that they are in.

Types of Lilies

You may be surprised to learn that while usually quite similar in appearance, not all flowers designated as lilies are actually “true lilies.” That designation belongs to flowers of the genus Lilium, which includes Asiatic lilies and Oriental lilies. At Flower Explosion, we offer these varieties of “true lilies,” as well as others outside the genus, including the day lily, water lily, and calla lily.
