Lily is one of the oldest and most distinguished flowers. It is characterized by a large flower whose petals can be white, yellow, orange, red or pink. Lilies that we are talking about here are representatives of the genus Lilium.
There are many types of lilies in the world, some have relatively large flowers, others have a gentle pleasant or, on the contrary, too intense fragrance, there are lilies with poisonous and healing properties. At Lovely Roses we mainly have two types of lilies, Oriental and Asiat. Oriental is characterized by a relatively large flower and gentle colors, it has a pleasant fragrance and is the most durable among lilies, due to these qualities, a mono bouquet of Oriental lily looks quite effective and voluminous, and for a mixed bouquet it has the opposite effect, because of a large and dominant flower, it completely overshadows other flowers. As for the Asiat lily, it has smaller flowers and does not have a fragrance, it looks beautiful in both mono and mixed bouquets of lilies.
The price of lily varies depending on the season, in Georgia we find both local and Dutch Asiat lily, during the season, from the middle of summer to the beginning of autumn, the price of the local ones are from 5 to 10 GEL, and the price of the Dutch one is from 12 to 15 GEL throughout the year.

Lily can be gifted to a loved one before they bloom or while in a blooming state. If you want flowers for yourself, it is better to buy them when they are closed and watch them slowly unfold, they will last longer and if you like to take care of flowers, it is quite a pleasant process. If you want it as a gift, then the first effect is very important. In this case, you can give a bouquet of lilies, with flower that is fully open or has some flowers open and some closed, the second option is to make a mixed bouquet with a closed lily, that will have an impressive first effect and also a secret surprise. In fact, you are giving two bouquets because the lily will make the flower arrangement even more beautiful and change the style after opening.
When properly cared for, lilies last longest of any cut flower. First of all, fill a quarter of the vase with water, remove the leaves from the flowers that will be below the water, cut the edges by 1-2 centimeters and place it in a jar. It is also very important to choose the right place, Lilia does not like direct sun or wind, and it is easily damaged during mechanical impact, so choose a more comfortable place, for example, next to a wall, where visitors will touch less. Change the water every day and cut the bottom every two days. If you get the closed lilies, they will bloom in a few days. In order for them to last longer, you need to remove the brown stamens in the center. If you get a mixed bouquet, it is recommended to put lilies and other flowers in two different vases, because the lily releases a substance in the water that decreases livability of the flower, and if you like the lily and the additional flower together and you don't want to separate them, try to wash the vase every day and refresh the water for the flowers.
