How Do You Care For Easter Lilies?
Easter lilies are regal, sweet smelling, breathtaking flowers. The Easter Lilly also has a strong historical backing and is commonly used to celebrate Easter because of it. It is said that the Easter Lilly was found after Christ had been put to death, growing in Garden of Gethsemane. Legend is that the Lilies had sprung up where Christ’s last drips of sweat and tears fell, before dying. The Easter Lilly is also associated with the virgin Mary, as the lily was given to her when she found out she was to have Jesus as a son. Easter Lilies portray purity, new life, and hope. They grow from a bulb and blooms naturally in May, but the Easter flowers are forced for Easter in April. Show off the Easter lilies in an area away from direct heat and in indirect sunlight. The flowers prefer temperatures right around 60°. Diffused light is best. To create a diffused bright light, place a sheer curtain up and set the Easter Lilly in front of it. This will help break up the light and protect the Lilly
