Lilies
are one of the oldest flowers
in history, hailed as one of the
most popular flowers in ancient
Jewish civilization, mentioned
in both the old and new testament.

in Christianity, these versatile
blooms are symbolic of summer
and abundance in Feng shui, and
symbolize “forever in love”
to the Chinese. The lilies will

Lilies Arranging Tip:
Lily pollen can stain clothing and furniture, so carefully remove the anthers (the orange pollen-coated tips at the end of the stamens) with tissues before displaying your bouquet. As flowers open as your design ages, you should continue to remove the anthers. Lilies bruise easily, handle them with particular care. The blooms open in succession, and you can snip off spent flowers close to the main stem.

Lilies IMPORTANT TIP:
Any lilies received should have the pollen stamens removed as they open. This will enhance the life of the lily and prevent any staining from the pollen. If you get any lily pollen on your clothing DO NOT rub off with your hands (rubs pollen deeper into the fabric). Use a toothbrush or a dry towel to brush off pollen.
