Lilies are large, elegant flowers that come in many bright colors like orange, pink, white, yellow, and red. They have big petals that open wide like a star and often have a very sweet perfume you can smell from far away! Lilies have been loved by people for thousands of years.
There are about 100 different kinds of true lilies in the world. Each lily flower has six petals and six tall, thin parts called stamens that are covered in powdery pollen. Some lilies have tiny spots and speckles on their petals that look like adorable freckles, and these are called tiger lilies! Some lily plants can grow over six feet tall.
