Lilies & Calla Lilies

SingBee says

Lilies and calla lilies, the elegant European flower with high romantic weight

Lilies are one of the most romantically weighted flowers in the European tradition, with associations to purity, devotion, and refined elegance going back to classical Greek and Roman culture. The Singapore Florist studio sources lilies from Dutch and local growers, stocking the main varieties: Oriental lilies (large fragrant blooms in white, pink, red), Asiatic lilies (smaller upturned blooms in vivid colours), stargazer lilies (the dramatic spotted pink-and-white classic), and calla lilies (the elegant smooth trumpet-shaped variety in white, pink, purple, and yellow). They are popular for weddings, sophisticated gifting, sympathy occasions, and the kind of recipient who appreciates a more dramatic flower than the standard rose.

Important caveats up front. Lilies are highly toxic to cats (a single petal can cause acute kidney failure), so we never recommend lilies for households with cats. Lilies also produce strong fragrance that can trigger nausea in recovering hospital patients and is banned in many Singapore hospital wards, so we steer customers away from lilies for get-well bouquets. Lilies do produce orange pollen that can stain fabric and skin, so we recommend removing the stamens before display (we do this in the studio before dispatch on request). For safer alternatives in pet-friendly homes or hospital deliveries, see our pet-friendly collection.

Pricing starts at SGD 98 for the small lily bouquet and reaches SGD 488 for the premium calla lily and stargazer arrangement. Most orders land in the SGD 128 to SGD 198 range. Every order ships free islandwide, includes a handwritten card, and arrives same-day for orders before 12pm if lilies are in stock that morning.

How we remove lily stamens to prevent pollen stains

Oriental and stargazer lilies produce a distinctive orange pollen on their stamens (the long protrusions in the centre of each flower). This pollen stains fabric, skin, and tablecloths if it transfers, and the stains are notoriously difficult to remove. Our standard protocol is to remove the stamens from each lily bloom in the studio before dispatch. We use clean tweezers to gently pull the stamens away from the bloom centre once the flower has opened, leaving the rest of the flower intact and beautiful. The recipient gets a stamen-free bouquet that is safe to display anywhere without worrying about pollen stains. If you specifically want the stamens kept (some traditional flower arranging styles prefer them), flag it in the order notes.
