What a lovely quote, Lilly of the Valley is like a rite of spring, we just need the weather to match!
I adore Lily of the Valley as did my mother, Donna. I used it as boutonnieres and in my wedding bouquet.
Thanks Rob and agree. We are at the lake this weekend and it's snowing ... sideways! Had hoped to put in boats but not with these winds and cold temps :( but all my chickens/grandchickens are here so life is good :)
You are a dear, Lindalou, and thank you. This was my mother's favorite flower.
Pretty, pretty photos. Very endearing. Happy Mothers Day.
My mother loved a good party, was a great cook and always said what a great time she had at my home as she aged. Have a great day tomorrow.

I have vases around the house now and they perfume the air.
Sounds delightful, Eileen. My mother also loved a good party ... I treasure her stories when she was a buyer at J.L. Hudson during the 'speakeasy' days in Detroit! Happy Mother's Day :)
Aw, Jane Marie, I love that thought and totally agree (hopefully we'll be greeted with the scent of fresh basil too)!
Marnie
The photo of your Mother is so pretty. I know you must treasure it. Hope you had a great Mother's Day! :)
Thank you, Rick. I love this flower, sad to see only a few bouquets left.
Spring would not be spring for me without these memorable plants, Marnie. I'm not surprised your mother liked them :)
