All Glorious Lilies

About This Group

We accept all kinds of Lilies into the group whether in the Liliaceae family or with Lily in the common name.

This group showcases the artist’s interpretation of Lilies, as you the artist sees them. It may be as a single flower, a group, or a garden display. It may be a composite image or art work that includes Lilies. It’s about however you make Lilies glorious with your paintbrush, your camera, and your post-processing. Please add your very best work, and note that out of camera images are discouraged where they have blow-outs or high shade contrasts, etc.

The idea of lilies starts with the family Liliacea, and the genus in this family include lilium, tulipa, and others. Today, the Liliaceae family contains 13 genera and about 400 herb species, including lilies and tulips. Many of these plants adorn our gardens and walkways. Liliaceae was once a large family including many Lily-like species. Since then, these lily-like families have been separated as they are not related. Today, the family is relatively small.

Our inclusion of flowers with Lily in the common name harks back to this time – and such flowers as calla lilies, day lilies, canna lilies and water lilies are welcome in the group.

Please browse through the rules to see a more extensive list of flowers with lily in the common name.

By submitting your images to the group, please be aware that they may be used within the group for features, avatar, challenge images, showcases of featured members and promotion of your work on the overview page.
