Lilies: suitable for every taste, style, and occasion
Crazy about lilies? Choose the perfect lily for you. With so many different varieties, you are guaranteed to find it. Needless to say, you can also pick the perfect lily for someone else. This is how to turn a bouquet into a very personal gift.
Limitless variety
From radiant white to intense dark red and from light pastels to warm apricot, the go-to trend color of 2024 – the color palette of lilies is remarkably broad and varied. You will find at least one beautiful lily (and probably many more) to match any style and taste. What’s more, you can choose between small or large-flowered lilies and double lilies. So much variety!
Do you like your lilies fragrant?
The scent of lilies can range from gently floral to pretty intense. If you are not a fan of these floral fragrances, we have great news: there are also lilies that are hardly fragrant at all. If you are not sure whether someone appreciates the fragrance of lilies, this is the safest bet. That being said, a fragrant lily bouquet can also pleasantly surprise someone.
Nectar and pollen
Flowers naturally have pollen. This is usually not a problem, but there are times when flowers without pollen are more convenient. In a bridal bouquet, for example, but also in bouquets that stand in a place you often walk past. Fortunately, more and more pollen-free lilies are available, in beautiful colors. If you choose double lilies, they will have no pollen anyway (because double lilies don’t have stamens).
Tips & ideas
- If you love all types of lilies and can’t choose from the huge selection, why not create a cheerful mix?
- There is a suitable lily for any occasion, from wedding to funeral, birthday to Mother’s Day, or just for yourself.
- Don’t put flowers next to your fruit bowl. Ripening fruit contains ethylene, an ageing substance that speeds up wilting. And of course, you want to be able to enjoy your flowers for a long time!
