Description

Lilium chalcedonicum is a bulbous European plant native to Tuscany, Greece and Albania. It grows up to 1.5 metre high, though usually rather less. It bears reflexed and nodding flowers, usually red or orange, not spotted, but with warts toward the base of the perianth segments. In the Victorian language of flowers, lilies portray love, ardor, and affection for your loved ones, while orange lilies stand for happiness, love, and warmth.
