Lily of the Valley has always fascinated me with it's quiet beauty.
Living in Kansas it would come up in our garden each year.
It grows more readily in Europe and Eastern United States.
Recently I planted a small clump of lily of the valley in my garden,
but now I find it is quite poisonous.
I will have to keep my eyes open when little ones visit.
When checking the Language of Flowers I found that the lily of the valley
signifies the return of happiness.
From Wikipedia: Legend tells of the affection of a lily of the valley for a nightingale
that did not come back to the woods until the flower bloomed in May.
In Europe it is celebrated and given as a gift on the First of May.
Kate Middleton carried it in her wedding bouquet when she married Prince William.
Do you have this sweet flower in your garden?
Do you celebrate the First of May by giving this gift?
It would be beautiful in a May basket left at a special someone's door.
Happy May Day to each of you!
Note: Don't forget the give away mentioned on Monday.
