Description

Fresh stargazer lillies, photographed up close, have a sweet scent and are grown in an ornamental garden. They are members of the Asian lily family of lilies, a large part of the plant kingdom. Also known as Oriental lilies, see below. This group was against a busy background so I digipainted all black surrounding it as well as texturized some of the petals to enhance the overall result.

The Meaning of Oriental Lilies...
Although there are several varieties of lilies, the general symbol of the lily flower represents purity of heart, sweetness and virtue, while maintaining an everlasting, exuberant presence within gardens and floral arrangements. Oriental lilies are available year-round and because of their strong symbolism of beauty, innocence and wealth, they have been widely used as floral bouquets for weddings as well as congratulatory gifts. Oriental lilies stand for beauty, purity and decadence.

Origin of the Oriental Lily...
Oriental lilies have interestingly been cultivated for a longer period of time than most plants from around the world and are native to the lily species of Korea and Japan. They have been found in gardens for more than 3,000 years, growing up to 6 feet tall. Although horticulturalists have been breeding various hybrids of this flower, its original physical form consists of three blooms on each stem with an average flower length of about 20 inches. Due to their relatively large size, rich color and pleasing smell, Oriental lilies have been a long-time favorite of many plant and flower enthusiasts.

Symbolic Meaning...
The Oriental lily represents the "universal symbol of beauty," while expressing an air of wealth and decadence. Other meanings associated with this flower include purity and innocence.
