Opening Lilies

Opening Fango Lilies, or for that matter any lilies is a challenge.  You want to have at least two striking heads open on the stalk unless the heads are so big they can carry the arrangement with just one open and the other two to four buds waiting in the wings.  To get to that point you may have to keep the lilies hydrated and out of the cooler for them to cooperate with you but when they do, you say, thank you!
