Flowers are produced at the top of the stem. Sometimes they are borne singly but with most cultivars they appear in an inflorescence. The inflorescence takes on many forms depending upon the species or hybrid and the culture. One of the interesting attributes of lilies is the great diversity in the form of color variations in the flowers, not only among the species, but especially among the hybrids. Technically the flower consists of: the perianth, which is composed of an outer calyx of three sepals plus a corolla of three petals; six stamens; and a pistil. The sepals and petals which for all practical purposes are indistinguishable from each other are called tepals; thus the six tepals make up the perianth.
