Orchids like the Iris are unique with the number of petals they have, but not all orchids are alike. They come in radiant colors and one orchid can have a large spectrum of colors.
Lilies come in thousands of colors and the lily society divides the types of lilies into nine different categories. Lilies can be hard to grow and expensive to buy, but they are beautiful flowers and well worth it.
