Lilies

Lilies are the ideal flower for a wide range of occasions including birthdays, a thank you or a heart felt message of sympathy. Our local florists use two major types of lilies in our flower arrangements being the delicate Asiatic lily and the impressive Oriental lily.

The Asiatic lily is smaller in bloom than its Oriental cousin and does not possess any fragrance. This fact makes it an ideal gift for recipients that may have a pollen allergy or for sending as a New Baby gift or Get Well gift. The Oriental lily is larger and possesses a sweet perfume that makes an ideal gift as a show of affection or a birthday.

Generally lilies come in a range of pinks, purples and whites and combine well with other flowers such as Gerberas and Irises to make beautiful mixed bouquets or boxed arrangements. As with all flowers, lilies should be well hydrated and cared for.
