When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
~Chinese Proverb
Lilium candidum
I love the lilies best, whenever Peter buys me the flower, (which is often, thank goodness) the living room is sure to smell so fragrant. The only problem with the flower is that the stamen leaves stains to anything it touches or comes in contact with so I usually remove it, but most of the times I forget. 😉
The above photo is of white lily which is apparently called Madonna Lily after the Virgin Mary. Lilies are flowers for mothers especially for the new ones as it symbolises fertility and a nurturing ability.
Lilies are flowers associated with spiritually. Lilies are particular favourites during weddings as they are known symbolism of unions, partnerships and long lasting togetherness.
