Hey all, was at a wedding at the weekend and the table flowers were lovely. The brides mother told us that they were lillyanthers, however i have found nothing about this on the internet. Just wondered if anyone knew anything about them? Maybe i have spelt incorrectly?

Cheers
Daz

Never heard of them. Lily anthers would be the pollen producing part of a stamen in a lily. I doubt they were those!

Nope they were there own flower and looked nothing like lillys, nor anthers!

She was welsh so this could explain a lot! (sorry to any welsh person out there!)

It might be very, very old and wooden, but I can still thrash it into action sometimes

Aunty, thanks very much, seems as though thats the one! Gotta buy some of these for next year to keep her indoors happy!

Thanks for solving the problem!
