genusgenusElegant flowering plants characterized by their showy, often fragrant blooms with distinctive curved petals and prominent stamens. These perennial bulbs produce tall stems adorned with narrow leaves arranged in whorls or spirals.
Etymology
The name 'Lilium' comes directly from the Latin word 'lilium,' which itself derives from an ancient Greek word 'leirion,' referring to these majestic flowering plants.
