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 is the biblical meaning of lilies of the field?

The phrase the lilies of the field is part of Jesus' sermon on the mount as recorded at Matthew 6:26-34 (compare Luke 12:27-31.)

At this point in his sermon he was encouraging his listeners to put the kingdom of God first in their lives, and not to worry too much about other daily/mundane necessities, such food and, in this particular instance, clothing.

"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" ~King James Version.

Some have suggested that Jesus may have been referring to a particular type of wild flower when he said the lilies of the field. Alternatively, as the context indicates, perhaps he was just referring to vegetation in general. Either way, he was illustrating his good counsel with an example drawn from nature, using something that all people, from their own knowledge and experience, can understood and appreciate.

Jesus therefore used the poetic phrase the lilies of the field as part of his well-known Sermon on the Mount, the overall objective of which was to teach his followers to have a more spiritual attitude and outlook, and, in this particular context cited, to remind them that God knows and will always satisfy the needs of those who look to God.

You can, but it is a little trickier than some transplants. The corms are quite deep, 10 to 12" inches deep. It is best to wait until bloom season is done, then look for a place with heavy corm growth. You will dig down, and then carefully split some corms off of this clump. The foliage is likely to die off when it is transplanted, but as long as you were gentle with them, they will grow back.

It depends on how you're asking it. I've read in a book once that when someone gives you lilies they represent death.

However, unless for some reason ur own mother is out to get you then that's something you should worry about.
