For the vulgar Americano-Republicans... In case you don't know:
The lily was the symbol of the Royal French Family as well as the whole country (when France was a real Country, it sounds funny, but it was). Then, the flag was white with a blue or yellow lily.
The original shape actually refers to the magical bees that were buried in the tomb of Clovis, the legend also says (but I am more sceptical about this one...) that during the "Bataille de Tolbiac" (year 496) an angel appeared to Clovis and for some reasons made him a offer "I'll turn the 3 frogs on your shield (which were pagan symbols) into 3 beautiful lilys" (with an old French accent).
Clovis accepted... And the Lily officialily became the symbol of the French Monarchy until 1830... Today you can find it on the Quebec flag and other obscure regions... THOSE LILYS are EVIL! Don't trust Them...
OH, Lily, my one and only...

He chose for me the violet, the lily and the pink But those I refused all three, but those I refused all three.

"I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no
Neptune of the seas an answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on thru' stormy skies
I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn't know"

I like Evangeline Lilly, in a non- slightly objectifying kind of way.
