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. |
Snapdragon
Common names: snapdragon.
Antirrhinum is a genus of plants that used to be the family Scrophulariaceae,
more commonly known as snapdragons from its flowers' fancied resemblance to the
face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when properly squeezed.
These tall-spike stems usually have fully opened florets upon arrival with flower buds on the upper portion showing a hint of color.
Flower colors include pink, purple, lavender, white, yellow, orange or burgundy.
Snapdragons are available year-round, as a cut flower they will last five to 10 days.
Special care: Snapdragons drink lots of water, so check water level frequently.
