Oriental lilies are known for large flowers, delicious scent and lovely colors. Orientals are the royalty of lily flowers, the queen of the queens.

Oriental blooms are larger and more spectacular than other lilies. The characteristics that make them so prized to cut flower lovers also make them commercially more difficult to grow and transport, hence they are more expensive than other lilies.

Their elegant re-curved petals, lovely long stamens and distinctive center markings, make Orientals the stars of any floral arrangement.

A single stem in a vase makes a regal statement – even one blossom floating in a bowl catches the eye. A massed arrangement can be electrifying.

Despite their great beauty, Orientals are not delicate. They are durable with a long vase life. A single stem can produce six to eight flowers.

 

Among the available colors are white, pink, rose, yellow and bi-colors. These hybrids are often appreciated for the colorful raised freckles on their petals.
