The lily: Carol Klein and Jennifer Sliwka in conversation

In Botticini's Assumption of the Virgin, the Apostles marvel at the tomb of the Virgin, which is overflowing with white lilies, while above, Christ receives her into the highest circle of Heaven. BBC Gardeners' World expert Carol Klein reflects on the lily, tracing its history from botanical specimen to cultural emblem, and discussing its symbolism and depiction in art with Jennifer Sliwka, curator of Visions of Paradise.
