Lily – The Aristocrat of Flowers and a Symbol of Purity
The Lily (Lilium) is a genus of bulbs from the lily family (Liliaceae), found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. This majestic flower, with a rich history reaching back to ancient Egypt and Greece, dominates any space with both its size and its powerful fragrance. It is the choice for anyone who wants to give a bouquet with a story and deep symbolism.
Facts from the world of lilies:
-
The language of flowers: A white lily is a symbol of innocence and purity, while pink lilies express abundance and prosperity.
-
A fascinating transformation: In the vase, a lily behaves like a living work of art. Its blooms open one by one, so the bouquet changes both its look and the intensity of its scent every day.
-
An important note: As experts, we have to stress that lilies are highly toxic to cats. If you share your home with a four-legged friend, keep the vase somewhere they cannot reach.
Tip from Jana (Large Arrangements & Funeral Floristry Specialist): “To me, lily is synonymous with grand gestures. If you need to make an impression, our Royal Lily arrangement is always a safe bet. To keep it looking its best for as long as possible, remember to gently remove the anthers (pollen-bearing stamens) as soon as the flower opens – this prevents staining on both the petals and your tablecloth. Thanks to its quiet dignity, lily is also irreplaceable in our respectful funeral bouquet with carnations.”
