The gorgeous colors of Oriental lilies mix with a delicious scent to create an almost intoxicating feeling. Lily flowers traditionally represent innocence and purity, and though their meaning has changed slightly, these beautiful flowers can make anyone stop to take in their scent.
Lily flowers are some of the most beautiful flowers that could be added to a garden. There are three main types of true lily flowers: Asiatic lilies, Oriental lilies, and Trumpet lilies. Trumpet lilies are less popular than the other two varieties, and are more of a hybrid. However, as their name suggests, both Asiatic and Oriental lilies originated in various Asian nations such as Tibet and Japan.
Today's Oriental lilies are hybrids of the original, with bigger petals and longer stems. They are bigger than Asiatic lilies, and their bright colors make them even more prominent. The scent of an Oriental lily is nearly intoxicating, and the flower makes its appearance in late spring and sticks around through early fall. Oriental lilies are bold and dramatic, and are available in red, pink, and white colors.
Stargazers are the most commonly known Oriental lily, and are sold in most grocery stores and flower shops when they are in season. Stargazers have white petals with a scarlet-pink stripe running down their center, and little magenta freckles. The Journey's end are another popular Oriental Lily. They are beautiful pink-petaled flowers, and have the same magenta dots as the Stargazers. Yellow Ribbons are white and they are the exception when it comes to the Oriental lilies, for they have a single bold yellow stripe running down the length of each petal.
Growing lilies, especially Oriental Lilies, is a comparatively easy task. However, these pretty lily flowers need both attention and care. For instance, Oriental lilies especially love fertilizer because the ground is moist without being wet. Oriental lilies also enjoy basking in direct sunlight and they grow best in sunny locations. When an Oriental lily is planted in a shady area, its stem will bend and twist to reach the sun, similar to trees. The website The Lily Garden is an excellent resource for gardeners, with lots of tips for growing lilies. The site also sell bulbs for Oriental Lilies, so it's easy to get started after checking out the site.
Anyone who enjoys growing flowers should give Oriental Lilies - or any other type of lily flowers - a try. The elegant Stargazers, exquisite Yellow Ribbons, and breath-taking Journey lilies will add a color and beauty to any garden, no matter how beautiful it already is. For people who can't grow anything, but still enjoy flowers, any Oriental Lily will look beautiful in any room of the house - no matter how long it lasts.
