Floral symbols of purity (6)

I believe the answer is:

lilies

(Other definitions for lilies that I've seen before include "Plants with slender stems and large trumpet-shaped flowers" , "'''Consider the ... of the field, how they grow'' (Bible) (6)'" , "bloomers" , "Luke: ` `Behold the ...... of the field' '" , "Flowering plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Washington Post Sunday.
