After the austerity of Lent, when churches are stripped of all decorations, Easter weekend is the moment that flowers will once again be allowed to bloom in all their glory and of course, the Easter lily, or Longiflorum is an essential part of the floral celebrations.
Longiflorum Lily
A symbol of purity, innocence and rebirth, Longiflorum naturally flower in late spring and in doing so has become synonymous with Easter. Also known as the Trumpet or Bermuda lily, its long, white flowers, with just a hint of green, have a delicate, floral scent.
Trumpet lily is obvious from its shape, but why Bermuda? Although endemic to Taiwan and parts of Japan, it was in the early 20th century that the island of Bermuda began growing Longiflorum for the American market. Production is now centred along the Californian and Oregon border, where so many growers are concentrated, it is known as the Easter Lily capital of the world.
