CC, my mum was the same about lilies.  Said they were funeral flowers.  These ones are fake.  The rest are real and from our garden.  The fine white ones are called Bridal veil and the red ones Waratah.

My Mum called the lilies funeral flowers too. MIL adores them though.
Chookie I love waratahs. I have only ever seen them at Floriade. Are they hard to grow? I wonder if they could stand our heat?

Cookie the Waratahs are grown commercially in our area so I think they may be suited to the cold.

That's probably why I love Waratahs Chookie. No chance of growing them here. They are are regal looking flower to me, so rich and royal.

Fantastic pineapple Cookie - how long did it take to grow? I remember the photo of it when it was a little thing.

Lovely flowers Chookie.
