Tiger Lily Traits

If you are a tiger lily (or Aries) you have nat­ur­al lead­er­ship abil­i­ties, don’t get sick often (who has time?) and are very roman­tic. Tiger lilies get along well with mag­no­lias, pas­sion flow­ers and oth­er tiger lilies.

Famous tiger lilies include War­ren Beat­ty, Leonar­do da Vin­ci, Sarah Jes­si­ca Park­er, Elton John and Joan Crawford.

Buying and Caring for Cut Lilies

  • Buy the blooms when they are still closed. Lily petals bruise quite eas­i­ly and it will be eas­i­er to trans­port of the blooms are closed.
  • If you are buy­ing for an event where you want all the lilies wide open, buy the closed bloom 3–5 days ahead of time to allow enough time for the blooms to open.
  • Always con­di­tion your cut flow­ers when you get home. This will encour­age the blooms to open. Remove any bro­ken leaves from the stems and re-cut the stems before putting them in a solu­tion of water and flo­ral food.
  • Lily pollen can stain. Remove the sta­mens with a tis­sue. If you get pollen on cloth­ing or a table­cloth, remove with tape. Just place a piece of tape down and then pull off. Do not use water or try to brush the pollen away.
