Oriental Hybrid Lily, Longwood Gardens IMG 2237
I photographed this Oriental Hybrid Lily during a visit to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. The current special annual exhibit is A Longwood Christmas. Longwood Gardens is a wonderful travel destination and is one of our favorite places to visit.
Subhash Sharma This exquisite looking Oriental /Asiatic lily belongs to a group of flowers which come in a blend of colours ranging from white, yellow, orange, pink to red and now also has a number of hybrids which look even more lovely. White typically symbolizes peace, innocence, marriage and purity throughout both the Eastern and Western civilizations. As a whole, warm colours, such as red, orange and yellow, represent energy, creativity, drive and passion of the human spirit. Individually, each colour denotes its own variety of human traits. The colour red signifies passion, blood, war, intensity, strength and excitement. Large quantities of red-collared light is said to stimulate the metabolism and heart rate physically throughout the human body. Orange and yellow represent happiness, optimism, imagination and hope, while pink is said to symbolize long-lasting love, healing and romance.
Mr. Sharma is a Facebook friend from India. He now lives in Ireland and frequently comments on my photographs as I post them on Facebook.
