Lilies of the Field is a phrase used in Matthew 6:28 in the Bible.
Modern scholars have proposed a number of different flowers that Jesus could be here referring to, according to Fowler these include the autumn crocus, scarlet poppy, Turk's cap lily, anemone coronaria, the narcissus, the gladiolus, and the iris.
In this verse he states that despite this the flowers are as finely dressed as the legendary Jewish king Solomon.
