The Lily Flower As a Concept

The lily is something that was shared between myself and my Gran, as a special flower.  

My Gran had a table cloth that was saved for Sunday best, so it really only came out of the sideboard cupboard on special occasions.  It was lacey with flowers all over, but I can't remember what flowers they were.  My Gran took great pride in baking a little feast or banquet to celebrate birthdays and visits from other family who weren't local.  

Do other people have memories of their Grandparent's table cloths and fond memories associated?
