Lily
Common names: lily, Asiatic lily, Oriental lily.
These showy, large flowered plants of genus Lilium are true lily plants.
They have a large showy flower which is six-petalled and is often fragrant.
Trumpet-shaped flowers grow to a 6-inch diameter.
Stems grow to 3 feet long, carrying four to eight blossoms, the sparse foliage is dark green.
Because blooms open at various times, most lilies live one to two weeks.
Flower colors include white, yellow, pink, red with orange; many have a deeper color (freckles) on inner petals. |
Hydrangea
Common names: hydrangea, hortensia
Hydrangea (scientific name: Hydrangea) is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants native from Japan to China, Himalaya, Indonesia, as well as throughout America.
They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though more widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
Four-petaled flowers grow in round clusters that are usually 4 to 8 inches wide.
Flowers bloom in white, lavender or pink.
While hydrangeas have been a garden or landscape favorite for years, they have become a popular cut flower to enhance garden-style flower arrangements. |
