Lily Flower Language

The lily's flower name is meant to commemorate the Holy Mother Mary. Since ancient times the Virgin Mary has been regarded by Christianity as a symbol of purity, so its flower language is purity. Below let us look at the flower languages of different types of lilies.

1. Oriental lily: purity, wedding blessings, nobility.

2. White lily: purity, solemnity, kindred hearts.

3. Easter lily: victory, honor, wealth. Hime lily: wealth, honor, purity, elegance.

4. Foxtail lily: nobility, flourishing prosperity, outstandingness.

5. Corn lily: persistent love, bravery.

7. Christmas lily: joyousness, celebration, true affection.

The lily carries the meaning of a harmonious union lasting a hundred years and has the significance of deep blessings. People blessed by this flower have a pure and innocent character and are cherished by everyone. However, this alone is not enough to pass through life peacefully; one must have self-control and resist outside temptations in order to preserve a purity that is not polluted. But in Japan, the lily has another meaning, and that is “cutting off the head.”
