This is the most wonderfully scented and has the most dainty little bell like flowers...:o) I have it growing in two different pots. My Mum carried these flowers at the blessing of her Emerald Anniversary to my Dad. I'm so glad that I managed to grow the roots on and it's produced several flowering stems this year :o)))

Thanks Jane ~ Lily of the Valley is my Mum's Birth flower and Emerald is her Birthstone for May! So when they had their Emerald Anniversary (which is 55 years) I decided to make Mum's Bouquet of Lily of the Valley! All the other flowers where green and white to keep it all colour co-ordinated... ;o) It was a real pleasure to be able to make it for them both, especially as my Dad has Alzheimer's and sadly doesn't remember anything about the celebration...

Thanks Jane - We all had a brilliant day and celebrated with family, friends and neighbours...! :o))) And I agree with you, a hell of a lot of things can be said with the secret language of flowers!!! :o)))

Thanks Hywel - It's Mum's Birthday on Tuesday, so I'm going to cut some stems for her... I know I could give her a root or two, but she'd rather I looked after it! ;o)
