Derived from the Greek word "leiron," which is believed to be a reference to the white Madonna lily, the lily was held in high regard by the ancient Greeks, who believed that the lily sprouted from the milk of Hera, the queen of the gods. Here at the boutique, we think lilies are beautiful to use in designs for all occasions. The best part is that there are so many varieties of lilies and they come in so many different colors!
