I think we do call them Trumpet Lilies...so pretty and mainly we see them available at Easter time...
I like the welded one--it will be pretty in the garden...
hugs in the cold only 25 degrees F Julierose
We always called them Easter lilies.
Love your welded flower. On my Christmas table I have a vase of orange lilies, as I couldn’t get any Christmas lilies in bud.
The lily is shown in paintings of the Annunciation. It is a symbol of purity and is held by the angel Gabriel or in a vase. There is a tradition that says that when Mary touched it the scentless bloom an exquisite fragrance arose from it according to one source.
I think in the US I’ve heard these called Easter lilies, too. I don’t know what they are called in Japan. Probably not Christmas or Easter lilies.
Love the metal sculpture! Hope you had a peaceful Christmas.
