LILIES (or “Lilium”, a Latin name derived from the Greek leirion.)
Lilies carry a great deal of meaning that date back several centuries. There are thought to be 80-100 species of lilies grown natively all over the world. Ancient Egyptians believed the flower to be sacred, while Romans used their petals to fill their pillows. The mythology commonly dates to the story of Zeus and Hera, which is demonstrative of the meanings of rebirth and fertility, “Zeus wanted his son Hercules to drink some of Hera’s milk but because he was born of another woman, she refused to feed the child her milk. Sneakily, Zeus then brought the baby to Hera to drink while she was asleep. When she woke, she pushed them away, the drops of milk that fell onto the ground grew into the beautiful white lilies we love today.” Lilies have long been associated with love, devotion, purity and fertility. The meaning can alter slightly depending on its colour. White Lilies are symbolic of a feeling of rejuvenation within the soul and new beginnings. Pink Lilies has long stood as a symbol of femininity, love, adoration and admiration.
