The Lily
Lilies grow in an amazing array of colorful hues and patterns. From bright whites to cream, pale yellow to golden yellow, pale pink, hot pink, maroon, purple to orange, there's a lily for every palette.
Lilies look gorgeous in a big bunch, but equally elegant all alone. Plus, they're all long lasting from closed to fully bloomed.
Below are two ways to dress up a single lily.
