"When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other." - Chinese Proverb
With more than 100 species of lilies such as the Tiger Lily, Madona Lily, Calla Lily and Stargazer, lillies have a huge significance in many cultures.
The lily in particular holds a special place for the Chinese - particularly during New Year celebrations - who believe that the family's fortune would be impacted negatively if there are no flowers in the house, hence the proverb.
The lillies pictured in the image above were specially arranged for an engagament cake top.
Here's a link to a selection of our floral arrangements with lillies for all occassions: Lily Blooms
Much love :) X
