Why Your Lilies Arrive in Bud

We send St Joseph lilies closed on purpose. Buds travel without bruising, and they open one by one over the following days, so the bunch keeps changing instead of peaking on the day it arrives. Put them in water as soon as they arrive and the first flowers will start to open in the warmth of her home.

For Your Mom, Even When You Are Far Away

Several of the reviews on this bunch come from customers sending it home from the UK and Ireland. "My mom absolutely loved her surprise delivery and couldn't stop mentioning how beautiful these were," wrote Carla, who ordered from Kensington. Order online from anywhere, add your message at checkout and we write it by hand, and her lilies arrive the same day in Cape Town or Johannesburg. For more ways to send love home, see sending flowers from the UK to South Africa or our gifts for mom.

White Lilies for Sympathy and Remembrance

White lilies have always stood for peace and quiet respect. When words are hard to find, a simple bunch of St Joseph lilies says we are thinking of you without asking anything of the person receiving it. They suit a home, a memorial table or a quiet corner of the office. See more sympathy flowers.

A Thank You for a Friend

For the friend who fetched the kids, cooked the meals or simply listened, white lilies are a thank you that lasts. "My friend loves lilies and she was so happy to receive these," one customer told us. See more thank you flowers.

For Your Wife, Just Because

Not every bouquet has to be red roses. Clean white lilies on the kitchen table feel calm and grown-up, and she watches them open all week. For more ideas, see our anniversary flowers.

How to Care for St Joseph Lilies

Unwrap the bunch, cut about two centimetres off each stem at an angle and stand the lilies in a tall vase of cool water with flower food. Change the water every two days with a fresh cut, and keep the vase out of direct sun and away from heaters and fruit bowls. As each lily opens, gently pull off the orange pollen tips with a tissue so they do not stain petals, tablecloths or clothes.
