Lilies are often neglected since they are not a common flower choice. However, these bright, expressive flowers make a statement on their own or add up to the composition when in a bouquet. Let's dive deeper into what's behind the beautiful lilies and whom they suit best!
The meaning
The "flower diva," as lilies are often referred to, is a religious symbol in many cultures. In fact, its bulbs are considered healing and are used for treatment in some regions. For example, they are said to heal wounds and burns. Besides, lily bulbs are also cooked to be further used as spices.
Another interesting fact is that lily is a symbol of power in France. Also, Ancient Greeks used to wear bridal crowns made of lilies for their weddings.
The character
Because of the perfect texture and coloring of lily petals, they tend to seem artificial. At the same time, they look very delicate, graceful and feminine. It's interesting: if we were to compare lilies with a living creature, it would be someone with a strong spirit; a kind of person whose presence is impossible to ignore. They are just so unique that they catch everyone's eye immediately.
Obviously, the flower requires an owner of the same nature - someone vivid and compelling. The one has to be as bright and outstanding as the flower itself while giving the lilies as much attention, love and care as eagers oneself!
The needs
Lilies are a bit demanding when it comes to keeping them fresh and blooming at home. The flower is fond of light, yet direct sunlight can be dangerous for your bouquet. Since lilies come from the temperate climate zone, they are not good at surviving in both cold and hot environments, so the average room temperature is perfect for keeping them alive longer.
An important thing to remember is that lilies are extremely dangerous for cats, so make sure that your pet won't have to resist the temptation to play with your bouquet!
Lilies bear both a tender and powerful look, so they are a great present choice for someone with the same personality. Because of the color diversity among the flower, you will definitely find a bouquet upon your preferences at Floral N5 to bring joy to someone special!
