Types of Flowers

The lily family includes more than 110 species of lily, a herbaceous flowering plant that can be found in a wide palette of colors, including a spectrum of white, orange, yellow, red, purple and pink, and with clear markings that resemble pico tees , stains, and painterly brushstrokes. Lilies are delicate flowers with six petals and an elegant, aromatic odor. 

The most popular types are the Tiger Lily, the calla lily, Madonna lily, Stargazer lily, Easter lily, lily and Morning Star. They are popular as showy garden plants and their root balls can be eaten as vegetables (although, in spite of a flavor and texture to a potato seems, they can be very bitter). 

However, their beautiful flower that only blooms in the summer, has led to the lily on an important cultural role, capable of a wide range of feelings when given as a gift. For example, the lily is the May birth flower and the flower used to make a couple to celebrate 30th wedding anniversary. (The lily of the valley, as a symbol of devotion and humility, remember a few of the second wedding anniversary.)
But the most common association with lilies at funerals as a gift, given to compassion and grief for a deceased loved one to express. White lilies, in particular, means compassion and sadness and chastity and virtue. When given for a funeral, to extend your condolences to the family and communicate both sadness for the loss, but also to restore the deceased to a state of purity and innocence. That spiritual element has long been a part of the cultural significance of the lilies. The ancient Greeks believed that the white Madonna lily grew directly from the milk of Hera, queen of the gods. In light of that story, lilies can be seen as a representation of the connection of humanity to the divine, and how all life comes from that source. In modern times, these meanings are all available in the gift of lilies, making it a suitable choice as honoring the memory of the dear departed.
