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

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!)
-
What did they look like? Anyone got a photo of the reception?
-
the flowers (from what i can remember past the jack daniels blur) were purple and similar to bindweed flowers, but nicer! Sorry, that prob doesnt help!
