Lilies
Herbaceous flowers of the genus Lilium, noted for their large tepals and fragrant scent. They grow from bulbs. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family (Liliaceae). They are important as large showy flowering garden plants. Additionally, they are important culturally and in literature in much of the world. Some species are sometimes grown or harvested for the edible bulbs. The species in this genus are the true lilies. Many other plants exist with "lily" in the common English name, some of which are quite unrelated to the true lilies.

What does a bouquet of lilies mean?
Asked by Wiki User
It depends on how you're asking it. I've read in a book once that when someone gives you lilies they represent death. If they're given to you by a past rival or current one then it's obviously not a good sign. If they're given to you by your own mother then obviously there isn't anything to fear. However, unless for some reason ur own mother is out to get you then that's something you should worry about.
