Easter Lily or November lily is a flower that is the sign of Easter. It is a stem rooting lily native to Japan and Ryukyu Islands. The plant grows up to one-meter high and bears trumpet shaped, white, fragrant and outward facing flowers. Easter lily grows almost all over the world. Florists extensively cultivate Easter lily as cut flower. Easter lily has irregular blooming periods in nature and thus horticulturists have developed species that bloom during Easter. The flower is the main item of decoration at Easter.

Many newer varieties have been brought from Japan, China and Bermuda to America especially after WWII. Prior to WWII, majority of Easter lily bulbs were imported to USA from Japan. However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the supply of bulbs was suddenly cut off, making it necessary for the American florists to develop their own varieties. Easter lilies can be induced to flower over a much wider period almost throughout the year. Some of the types of lilies are extremely poisonous to cats.
