A flower of the genus Lilium in the family Liliaceae.

Lily flowers have 6 petals (technically 3 petals and 3 sepals) and come in a variety of shapes such as bell, flat, funnel, recurved, trumpet, etc. They can be almost any color, but white lilies are probably the most well-known kind, being either Lilium candidum (Madonna Lilies) or Lilium longiflorum (Easter Lily) with their characteristic trumpet shape.
