Lily:
Common Names: Lily, Asiatic Lily, Oriental Lily
Description: Trumpet-shaped flowers grow to a 6-inch diameter. Stems grow to 3 feet long, carrying four to eight blossoms. Sparse foliage is dark green. Because blooms open at various times, most lilies live one to two weeks. Colors include white, yellow, pink, red and orange; many have a deeper color (freckles) on the inner petal.

Gladiolus:
Common Names: Gladiolus, Glad, Gladioli
Description: Tall, tightly packed spikes of six to eight blossoms open in sequence from the bottom. The 2- to 8-inch-wide florets bloom in one direction with sword shaped foliage on stems. Gladiolus lend itself to almost any type of style from the use of a full stem to provide height to a tall arrangement or individual florets for corsage and wedding work. Gladiolus last seven to 10 days and are available in a wide variety of colors including white, green, cream, yellow, buff, orange, salmon, pink, red, lavender, purple, blue and terra cotta.


Ordering Advice:
The best advice to remember is to keep the order as general and open as possible.  Because flowers are usually better in some seasons and not others, it is wise to allow the florist to pick the types of flowers used so they can give you the best quality.  Some flowers, such as roses, carnations and chrysanthemums, are available all year.
Floral designers are very creative individuals.  Rather than specifying the precise location of every flower in the arrangement, tell them the overall "look" you want (e.g., round arrangement, loose flowers in a vase, etc.) and let them use their creativity to do something spectacular for you!
