The lily of the valley is a plant of the genus Lilium, family Liliaceae.

The shape of the lily's scales is one of the bases for the classification of species. Most lilies have lanceolate, unarticulated scales, and the scales are mostly arranged in compound tiles on the bulb disk to form a bulb. The surface of the stem is usually green, or mottled with brown, or brownish-red throughout. Stems usually terete, glabrous. Leaves are arranged in a spiral loose arrangement, rarely whorled. Leaf shape is lanceolate, rectangular-lanceolate, and oblanceolate, elliptic, or striped. Leaves are sessile or shortly petiolate. Leaves entire or with small papillae. Flowers large solitary, clustered or in racemes. Flowers erect and pendulous or flat, often brightly colored. Tepals 6, in 2 whorls, free, often connivent and bell-shaped, trumpet-shaped. Flower color has white, yellow, pink, red and other colors. Stamens 6, filaments slender, anthers elliptic larger.

Bulbs white, 4 to 7 centimeters high, 5 to 8 centimeters in diameter, broadly ovate, about 10 centimeters deep into the soil; stems erect, hard, the basal part buried in the soil with 2 to 3 whorls of fibrous roots, the above-ground part is 1.2 to 1.5 meters high, 0.8 to 1.2 centimeters in diameter, angular, dark purple, while covered with white woolly hairs. Leaves scattered, sessile, glossy, lanceolate, 3 to 15 centimeters long, 0.5 to 1.5 centimeters wide, apex acuminate, with more than 5 conspicuous veins, upper leaves gradually shorter to form leafy bracts, usually with bead buds in the axils of the leaves; the bead buds are globose, 2 to 3 millimeters in diameter, and turn black with age.

Inflorescence racemose-conical; pedicels stout, spreading, flowers slightly pendulous; tepals 6, orange-red, densely spotted with purple-black, revolute when open, lanceolate, 8 centimeters long, 1.5 centimeters wide; stamens 5 to 7 centimeters long, anthers purple and spotted; stigma purple, ovary 1.3 to 1.8 centimeters long. Fruit obovate, 3 to 4 centimeters long.

The flowering period of lilies lasts about three months, usually from April to July each year, with slight variations for different varieties. Before flowering, we should increase the amount of phosphorus fertilizer, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, to avoid prolonged growth of branches and leaves, and move it to a bright and ventilated place, watering the appropriate control of water.
