Spring Stargazer Lilies

star gazerThis week the floral concession in our supermarket had some of the best Stargazer Lilies seen this year. I saw them – and they became mine.

From ProFlowers – the meaning of Stargazer Lilies:

The stargazer has added a new layer to the already rich legacy of lilies, which have been a significant floral symbol for centuries. In ancient mythology and in folklore from around the world, the lily has appeared as a deeply spiritual and philosophical metaphor. Developed in the latter part of the 20th century, the stargazer lily is a recent addition to the lily family, but this unique and rather exotic hybrid has rapidly risen in popularity to become one of the most adored and sought-after of all lily varieties.
