Characteristics of Lily Flowers

Lily or lily? What's the difference?

Short answer: they're the same flower. "Lilyum" is the Latin genus name of the plant, while "zambak" is the traditional Turkish name. In floriculture, cut and potted varieties are generally called lilies, while the wild species are called zambak. If you want to order lilies, this is the page you're looking for.

The Difference Between Lilies in a Pot and Lilies in a Bouquet

Potted lilies come as bulbous plants: buds open sequentially, flowering lasts 2-3 weeks, and with proper care, the bulb can bloom again the following year. Bouquet and arrangement lilies, on the other hand, are designed for an immediate impact: showy, ready to be placed in a vase. We recommend potted lilies for those who want lasting effect, and bouquets for those who want an immediate impact.

How to Care for Lilies?

• Trim the stem ends of the lilies in the vase crosswise and change the water every two days.
• Gently removing the pollen sacs from blooming flowers will prevent smudging and help the flowers last longer.
• Water potted lilies as the soil dries out; avoid letting water accumulate in the saucer.
• Water the plant in the morning or evening to help it absorb water better.
• Remove faded flowers and dried leaves with sharp, clean scissors.
• Keep the bouquet away from the fruit bowl — the gases released by ripe fruit shorten the life of the flowers.

How to Propagate Lilies?

If you want to propagate your potted lily, there are two common methods: bulb division (separating the side bulbs that form around the main plant's roots and planting them in new pots) and propagation by seed (planting seeds obtained from mature flowers). Pruning after flowering encourages the growth of new flowers.

The Meaning of Lilies: To Whom Are They Sent?

In the language of flowers, lilies represent purity, rebirth, and nobility. White lilies symbolize pure love and respect, pink lilies tenderness and gentleness, and orange tones convey confidence and passion. Therefore, lilies can be sent to a mother, wife, boss, teacher—anyone you believe "deserves more than just an ordinary flower."

Lily Varieties: Oriental, Asiatic, and LA Hybrid

Lilies in floriculture come in three main groups, and this difference will have the greatest impact on your choice:

• Oriental lily: The largest-capped and most intensely fragrant group. This is the type that comes to mind when you think of "lily scent"; our Fragrant Lily and Sunset Lily series belong to this family. White and pink tones predominate.
• Asiatic lily: It has a very light fragrance, but the widest range of colors — vibrant shades such as yellow, orange, and red. Ideal for those with sensitive senses and for office environments.
• LA hybrid: A cross between two groups: lightly scented, long-lasting, and durable. It is the most commonly used modern variety in bouquets.

If you're unsure which type to choose, this practical rule will help: if fragrance is desired, choose Oriental; if color and durability are desired, choose Asiatic or LA hybrid.

Which flowers pair well with lilies?

Lilies are showy on their own, but with the right companions, they create a completely different effect. Our most popular combinations:

• Lilies + red roses: A classic love bouquet. The elegance of white lilies balances the passion of roses; a top choice for anniversaries.
• Lilies + gerberas: A cheerful and energetic presentation; ideal for birthdays.
• Lilies, carnations, and seasonal greenery: These add volume and naturalness to the already strong fragrance of lilies.
• Lilies + chocolate: Ferrero Rocher accompanying sets crown the flower with a sweet surprise.

Lilies as Office and Corporate Gifts

Lilies are also at the top of corporate gift lists: their elegant appearance is associated with seriousness, and when sent in a pot, they stay in the office for weeks, reminding the sender of the brand. We recommend lily arrangements in boxes or fragrant lilies in pots for new office openings, promotions, and congratulations to business partners. For open-plan offices where scent sensitivity may be a concern, mildly scented Asiatic varieties are a safer choice. Card messages for bulk corporate orders can be customized for each recipient.

From Mythology to the Present: The Story of the Lily

The lily is one of the oldest ornamental flowers in human history. In ancient Greece, it was believed to have been born from the milk of the goddess Hera and was considered a symbol of purity and rebirth. In medieval Europe, the white lily (Madonna lily) was depicted in paintings and coats of arms as a sign of innocence; the "fleur-de-lis" motif in the French royal coat of arms also derives from the lily. Today, when you send a bouquet of lilies, you are gifting the latest link in a millennia-old tradition of elegance.

In what season can lilies be found?

Although lilies naturally bloom in spring and summer, modern greenhouse cultivation makes them available year-round. At Heryerbitki, lily bouquets and potted lilies can be ordered year-round and delivered with the same freshness even during winter months. Demand for lily-themed arrangements increases during Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and Christmas, so we recommend placing your order a few days in advance for special occasions.

How to revive wilting lilies?

If your bouquet is starting to look tired, these three steps will often revive it: (1) cut 2-3 cm diagonally from the ends of the stems and refresh the vase with warm water, (2) move the bouquet to a cool, dimly lit room for a few hours, (3) turn the unopened buds towards indirect light, not direct sunlight. Cutting off fully opened flowers when they have reached the end of their life cycle will encourage the remaining buds to open more vigorously.
