Great article about the symbolism, history and meaning of lilies

by

I always find the history of flowers interesting. I’ve discussed the meaning of roses and their colors before on this site, and now I’d like to point you towards an article that discusses the symbolism, history and meanings lying behind Lilies.

The article is located on the Clare Florist Blog. It’s the first in a series of blog articles that will discuss the myths and legends behind some of the most well known flowers.

I don’t want to tell you everything that’s in this wonderful write up about the history and symbolism of lilies, however I will give you a tiny tidbit to peek your interest:

Did you know that Greek mythology states that when the goddess Hera was nursing her son Hercules excess milk fell from the sky. Some of those drops landed on the ground and it was from this that the first lilies grew.

The article also tells how Lilies were recognized as a symbol of purity. You’ll have to read the article to find out exactly how this came about though.

While I was on the blog I happened to take a look at the floral selection at Clare Florist and they have a lovely selection. You might consider getting some Lovely fresh lilies delivered throughout the UK by Clare Florist if you live in their delivery area.

Ambrosia Floral Boutique

by

I know we’re gardeners, but for those of us who live in cooler climates- do you ever send flowers or plant baskets to friends and family? I usually don’t in the summer as I have plenty of lovely flowers to make up a wonderful bouquet but I do use florists occasionally in the cooler months.

I found a very nice Florist in Tempe online. The company is called Ambrosia Floral Boutique and they have the nicest arrangements. They service a number of areas and cities, but they deliver worldwide.

On their main page they have a large number of Holiday and Christmas oriented arrangements and baskets that just look lovely. The prices on the site seem reasonable for what appears to be very nice quality floral arrangements.

If you’d like to visit Ambrosia Floral Boutique to see for yourself just click on the link. If you are in Arizona you might want to just drop in to their location and see the arrangements in person at 1949 W. Ray Road #36, Chandler, AZ 85224 or you could even give them a call on their toll free line to discuss a possible purchase and delivery 877-781-4282.

I might consider doing some business with them if I decide to purchase any arrangements as gifts in the next couple of weeks. Their flowers look very nice.
