Flower Facts of the Day: TLC for Easter lilies

Lots of us will be giving or receiving lilies for Easter. Here’s how to love your lily:

Yellow lily

• Lilies bruise easily, so handle them gently.

• Lily pollen can stain clothing and furniture, so carefully dust the anthers (the pollen-coated tips) with a tissue before displaying. Or you can remove the anthers completely.

• Remove older flowers to make room for new buds to open.

• Lily plants prefer moist soil and diffused light.

• Keep lilies away from pets and vice versa.
