Asiatic Lilies

Asiatic lilies are a very popular species because of their colour – they come in orange, red, yellow and white. The Asiatic Lily is featured in our “Picture Perfect” bouquet that is guaranteed to brighten up a room with its vibrant yellow hue.

Oriental Lilies

Oriental lilies are admired because of their qualities and pleasant fragrance, which is very apparent in the evening. Oriental lily flowers bloom in pink, red, white and yellow colours, and also have broader leaves and foliage that makes them deer and rabbit resistant. Our “Pink Paradise” arrangement is a bouquet of pink lilies and gerberas, which features the beautiful and fragrant Oriental Lily.

Stargazer Lilies

Stargazer Lilies are a cross between Asiatic Lilies and Oriental Lilies – this hybrid took the best qualities from each of its parent lilies. The Stargazer name comes from its flower buds and how they open up to the sky. Forest of Flowers has the beautiful hot-pink and white accent Stargazer Lily as part of the “Splendid Pink Gerbs and Lilies” bouquet.

These are just some of the most popular bouquets of lilies! Choose a style based on your preferences and needs – lily flowers are the perfect option for any occasion. Shop Lilies online and get local SAME-DAY delivery with Forest of Flowers, or visit our locations in person.
