The Roselily Collection
Looking for a new blossom for your Easter vases? How about a lily with three times as many petals as traditional Liliums? Designed primarily for the cut flower market, Roselilies have some very unique attributes: an absence of pollen, a lighter fragrance, and a very long vase life. Check your local florist for two varieties ('Belonica' and 'Fabiola'); the others will be available later in 2012 and 2013.
And for more lily information, check out our other lily articles, including a preview of 2012's new lily varieties, photos of the new 2012 lily varieties, and how to make floral crowns with lilies!
