Greenhouses across the country are preparing this years crop of Easter
lilies for a busy spring season. Easter lilies reach their height of popularity
in the weeks leading up to the holiday, but with a little extra care, these
hardy plants may be enjoyed throughout the season.
The Lilium longflorum has long been linked to Easter, with white, trumpet-shaped
flowers thought to symbolize purity, hope, and life.
Easter lilies are one of the most beautiful symbols of spring, and a popular
Easter gift, said Tim Sime of Jolly Lane Greenhouse in Rapid City, SD. To
maximize the time you can enjoy their fragrant flowers indoors, look for an
Easter lily with a mix of partially open flowers and tight buds.
