Types of white lilies

Renowned for their lovely blooms that bring a touch of elegance to any home or garden, lilies are a unique alternative to a standard rose delivery. There are some 100 species of lilies around the world, but here’s a roundup of the most common lilies used in floral arrangements:

• Madonna lilies are characterized by their ivory petals that may have a light green center. This trumpet-shaped bloom produces a lovely fragrance, making it a popular addition to mixed bouquets or table centerpieces.

• Casablanca lilies are an oriental lily hybrid praised for their elegant petals and sweet fragrance. As the lily blooms, the white petals curl outward.

• Easter lilies are originally native to Japan but are now cultivated all over the world. While eye-catching, these flowers are notorious for dropping pollen. To avoid yellow stains, remove the pistils as soon as the flower blooms.

• Peace lilies are a low-maintenance plant identified by their waxy, deep green leaves and unusual white flowers. They make a great gift for recipients who do not have a green thumb.

• Calla lilies grow in a variety of pretty shades, but it’s reputed that the white calla lily is the most fragrant. These blooms are popular in bridal and memorial arrangements as they symbolize both commitment and rebirth.
