Lily Bouquet in Singapore

The word “lily” is derived from the Old English lilie from Latin Lilium and Greek leirion. Each variety of lilies epitomises a different meaning. However, the most common meaning of the flower is purity and fertility. The innocent and scintillating beauty of the lilies has associated them with purity and rebirth. Lily bouquets are perfect gifts for every occasion. Ranging from weddings to other events like birthdays and baby showers, lilies symbolise the rejuvenation of the soul.

From the name and myths associated with it to the meaning of the flower itself, there is so much hidden expression in the beautiful bloom. However, the intrigue makes the flower interesting for different special occasions. Want to find out more? Here is a guide on lilies from Prince’s Flower Shop.

Interesting Facts About Lilies

• While most people believe that all lilies are fragrant, only the white lily and the tiger lily are fragrance-free. If you are planning an indoor flower bouquet, ensure you get one of those two flowers.
• Lilies are perennial plants, which means they may live (and thrive!) in the wild without much help from humans. They bloom in the spring and summer and then hibernate in the winter. They are also resourceful, as they can grow from both a bulb and a seed, and can reach heights of two to six feet depending on the species.
• The lily attracts insects with its huge colourful blossoms and tasty nectar, making it ideal for pollinators. Some lilies are pollinated by the wind, while others are pollinated by bees!
• Lilies feature big petals in a variety of colours, including white, yellow, orange, red, purple, and pink which makes the flower look stunning in flower arrangements. They’re allowed to have freckles! The Tiger Lily is so named because of its orange with brown markings.

Mythological Facts About Lilies

Through ages, lilies have had many associated meanings. However, one of the most common associated mythological tales is the story of Seus and Hera. The tale of the Greek God and Goddess gave lilies their meaning at it still holds today- purity and rebirth.

According to legend, Seus wanted Hercules to sip Hera’s milk when he was a baby. She disagreed because Hercules was born to a different lady. Seus took Hercules to sip Hera’s milk when she was sleeping to get him some milk. When she awoke and realised what had happened, she pushed them away, and the milk drops that had fallen on the ground bloomed into lilies which symbolise purity and rebirth.

Where Did Lilies Actually Come From?

There are an estimated 80-100 types of lilies that grow wild all over the world. However, the lily is most usually found in warm climates in the northern hemisphere, such as Asia, Europe, and North America.

The lily was once only found in forests, grasslands, marshes, and mountains. However, it can now be grown from a bulb practically anyplace with the correct weather. It’s a hardy flower that has survived the test of time and resurfaced numerous times throughout human history. Lilies are adored by all. From the Egyptians, who considered the lily to be sacred, to the Romans, who used lilies to fill their pillows, the lily has a long history.
