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.

Do you cut lilies to the ground in the fall?
No. If you live in a cold climate, only cut the stems down to eight or ten inches in the fall, so that winter-kill will only effect the top portions of the stems, and so that the remaining stems can trap snow, which will insulate the crown of the plant. In a warm climate, cut the plant down to about one third its summer size, and then in the spring trim off any part of the stem that has died.

All the other notes aside from tigerlily that are in jimmy choo are common they are all notes that most have smelled from some time or another , most likey in a perfume you wore or someone else wore. The tigerlily is the one note that will stick out to your nose as new and / or different ...that unique smell that you smell in jimmy choo.. that's the tigerlily, and I love it :)

What is meant by the phrase 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.

How do you prepare lilies for winter?
Lilies are difficult to preserve because of their high moisture content. Drying them (the most common preservation method) yeilds poor results. The reason is that the large petals of the lily do not dry to true color nor with smooth results. If you should decide to try to do this, I would reccommend the silica method. This involves a container large enough to hold the lily without touching the sides of the container and silica granules. Pour the silica into the container enough to hold the lily upright, then gently settle the silica onto the flower until the lily is completely covered by the silica. Let the container sit open for about two weeks then slowly and carefully pour the silica out of the container. The lily should be dry and preserved in as good a shape as possible. Spray with a polymer plastic to further preserve the lily.
