I love the flowers of May so much! Three decades ago as a newlywed, my backyard had a massive patch of Lily of the Valley eventually obliterated for the swimming pool.
But good news! Today as I was poking in the garden, there was a little patch of these fragrant beauties! Hooray!! I love them ... the darling little bell shapes, the heady aroma, they are just so sweet.
In France they are called Muguets des bois, doesn't that sound romantic? Along with the tradition of giving Lily of the Valley as tokens of love, the Victorian meaning in the language of flowers was "You make my life complete"
If you celebrate your birthday in May, the Lily of the Valley is your special birth-month flower!
The Lily of the Valley is an enchanting flower and I am enjoying the splendiferous perfume of my lovely bouquet.
In jewelry the Fleur de lys is a stylized Lily and it's no wonder I love those too!
Happy May, Happy Spring and Happy Birthday May babies! xo
