lilies
Trumpet-shaped spring flowers
Lilies are flowering plants of the genus Lilium, known for their large, showy blooms and strong fragrance.
They grow from bulbs and produce trumpet-shaped or recurved flowers in colors ranging from white to pink, yellow, orange, and red.
Lilies carry heavy symbolic weight in art and religion, representing purity, renewal, or mourning depending on context.
Easter lilies decorated the church altar.
The term extends loosely to similar flowers like water lilies and calla lilies, which belong to different plant families.
