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.)
