Lily (Yuri)
With slender stems and large flowers, "Yuri", the Japanese name for lily, is said to have come from the verb "yuru", meaning to sway, as a lily does naturally in the breeze.
In Japan, lilies are in abundance and are known to have high ornamental value. Describing a woman's beauty, there is even this Japanese saying, "She sits and stands a peony and walks a lily".
