Elegant and beautifully fragrant, lilies bring a touch of luxury to any bouquet — and a single stem opens into several blooms, so they offer real presence for the price. Here's your guide to lily types, meaning and care in Dubai.
Types of Lily and What They Mean
The most popular are Oriental lilies (large, fragrant) and Asiatic lilies (bright, unscented). White lilies symbolise purity and are a traditional sympathy flower, while pink lilies mean prosperity and admiration. Single white (AED 17) and pink lilies (AED 20) let you add a few statement stems affordably.
Lily Bouquets Worth Sending
Because each stem carries multiple flowers, even a modest lily bouquet looks generous. The 6-Stem Pink Lily Bouquet (AED 99) is a lovely example. Browse the full lily collection.
A Note on Fragrance
Oriental lilies are gloriously scented — lovely at home, but choose unscented Asiatic lilies or low-scent flowers for hospital gifts. (Tip: lily pollen can stain, so many people gently remove the stamens.)
Caring for Lilies
Lilies are easy: cool clean water, a fresh trim, and a spot out of direct sun. Buds keep opening over several days, so they're one of the longest-performing flowers — more in our care guide.
