How to use "Lilium" in context?
Lilium is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants in the family Liliaceae, first described as a genus in 1753. They are monocotyledons, meaning they have a single seed leaf, and are typically tall, slender, and flower in the late winter to early spring. The flowers are typically small, white, and peak during the second half of the flower's bloom cycle.
