Description
Lily (Lilium) is a genus of monocotyledons of the lily family (Liliaceae), a perennial plant with a bulb and stem above ground. It originates from Asia, Europe, North America. There are about 90 species. This flower has been appreciated since the ancient Egyptians. It is special because of the high growth, exceptional beauty of flowers and intoxicating scents.
Underground woody the bulb from which came the shoot with individual flowers bloom in the thyroid. It grows to a height of 50-100 cm. The colors of lilies are: white, yellow, pink, orange and red. The fruit is a quiver with 500 seeds. The flowers are large, funnel-shaped or bell. The gills of flowers are grown together or partially free, more or less bent backwards.
The leaves are linear, lanceolate, oval or sitting on stalks. At the top of the stalk has no leaves. As an ornamental plant, lily (Lilium candidum L.) has for centuries been a motive in art and in religious art, particularly early Christian. In Christianity, the white lily is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is a symbol of purity and innocence.
