Thanks. That makes sense. Lilies is more rooted and speaks of the rewards of a virtuous life. Cut flowers (Bouquet) bring temporary pleasure.
Yes, that's how I see it. Bouquet also tends to involve someone else making you happy - someone makes you feel good, someone gives you something, and with the Ring or Heart it can even be someone asking you out romantically. It's a nice card, and even far away, as long as there are no bad cards around it or the querent's card it tends to be good.
Lilies is a lot more lasting and fuliflment based. Lilies - Sun together is a brilliant sign (and yes, it can mean great sex lol)
