Lily of the Valley

I love the scent from these Amy, reminds me of my mum as she used to wear a lily of the valley perfume, thanks for the memory :-)

I am very envious that you have lily of the valley, it doesnt seem to like my garden:-(
Lovely photo too, very well taken.

Hi Amy ... pretty pic :o)

Slad I have always loved the scent and had some perfume years ago, Lily of the Valley reminds me of the first place I worked in a lady use to come at this time of the year selling lovely bunches a whole bunch smells gorgeous .. They do well here Sb I don't have them in direct sunlight as they are a woodland plant ,we have a wood near here where loads of them grow with the blue bells ,I must go and see them soon , Thanks TT :o))

Brings back such happy memories of the garden where I grew up. My grandad lived with us and was a keen gardener and we had lots of lily of the valley under an elm tree.

Nice memories Chris both of your Grandad and the Lily of the Valley , very often there's a certain scent of a flower that brings back old memories :o)

Love these..

Thanks Holly they are an old favourite I think :o)

Yours are much earlier than ours this year, such little beauties, nice pic Amy...

Beautiful. They never thrive in my garden. Wud love the fragrance.

Thanks all , shame about that Dawn they would look nice growing in amongst your trees !

That 's a thought Amy, havent tried them in the trees, hmmm

Dawn we have a wood near us where Lily of the Valley grows in profusion the scent is wonderful I must go there before they die down !

You have such wonderful woodlands local to you Amy. The sweet rocket is beginning to bloom. :)

I love these! will have to post a pic of my little patch on the edge of the forest. I think they started there because someone had a compost heap in the area...lol. These and the appleblossoms are sweet smelling now. At times the smell is strong and heady and at other times it's light as the breeze...just delightful.

I'm pleased the Rocket is growing Dawn I haven't been to visit that wonderful place we found where they grow this year ,there isn't enough hours in the day at the moment !
We shall look forward to seeing your photo Lori ,Lucky for you they were left to grow naturally ....

How lovely to have these Amy, little gems.....

What perfection!

Gorgeous little flowers. These were my wedding flowers when we got married 1959. Just a small posy of lily of the valley, with a white prayer book!!
I have loved them ever since. The scent is up there with Freesias and very fragrant roses!! Beautiful.
Summerbree - I have loads in my garden which just keep spreading!! Too think really, half the time the flowers are hidden amongst all the leaves.
I wonder if I could send a clump to you. Don't know when it should be done?

Thanks Janey / Pam , What a perfect wedding posy Shirl I'm not surprised you love them still ,I had white in my bouquet including white freesias still my favourite .....
