Sun Valley Group: Why Royal Lilies Are The Perfect Flowers For Mother's Day

This year's long, rainy winter and extra-cool spring in Northern California has blessed us with an outstanding harvest of Royal Lilies, just in time for Mother's Day.  Why do these flowers stand out as perfect gifts for mom?  First, and foremost, is their distinctive lasting ability (much like mom!).   The "hybrid" in LA Hybrid has given them one of the strongest vase lives out of all the lilies, offering an extended, unparalleled enjoyment for those who receive them.  These are the flowers that give further joy with each additional day of fantastic bloom, and two weeks after Mother's Day, you can be sure mom will still be enjoying their beauty!  Behind their elegant shape is an implicit strength–You can feel it in their thick, sturdy stems and healthy, plump petals. 

Royal Lilies are made even better by their large bud size and giant blooms (larger than traditional Asiatics). They have a wide-ranging, warm color palette, with hues ranging from pastel pinks and peaches to dark reds and fuchsias to bright oranges and yellows.  Have a look at that great color spread of one our LA Hybrid test rows below:
