more exactly, in french one would say
les plus rares des lys (because "les lys les plus rares" simply means "the
rarest lilies"; i think there's a slight difference)
and in latin
rarissima liliorum (since lilium is neuter) or
lilia rarissima, but this, again, means "the rarest lilies"
i'm not totally sure about my translation, though.
hope i could help you

My non-professional opinion would be "les lys les plus rares" and
"rarissima liliarum".
