Not everyone loves lilies the way I do. Their wide variety of colors and great scent has made me a fan of this flower for years. Did you know that the flowers grow in almost every area around the world? I have to say, the tiger lily is my absolutely favorite. The bold color and busting dots make this type of lily look rather exotic and can cheer me up in an instant.

Other than their lovely fragrance and variety of colors, lilies are one of the easier flowers to grow. Plant the flower bulbs at the first sign of spring; allow them to sprout and when the first frost comes simply support the stems with straws.

I feel that there is a type of lily for everyone. With over 110 species, I’m sure you can find one you love- or just like a little bit. Not only are lilies beautiful, their also very important culturally. If you haven’t had much experience with the flowers, I think you should give them a try. Pick some up at your local flower shop and let the aroma fill your home. I think you’ll grow fond of the flower quickly.

For those of you, who do love lilies, become familiar with the different species. There are probably many available that you didn’t even know about. I once through the pink lily was my favorite until I finally met the tiger lily species and quickly changed my mind. One of the best parts of being a flower lover is the ability to always find new ones that we love.
