Lily-of-the-valley

Twenty-nine years ago today I carried a bouquet that included Lily-of-the-valley. The smell is so exquisite and it can transform a room with its evocative scent. It also makes me start waxing lyrical !
When we moved to this house when the children were small we were delighted to discover a whole bed of this lovely flower, gardeners amongst you will know how difficult it is to grow them if the soil/position/light isn't just right but in this corner they grow abundantly. This year I have decided to pick as many as possible and share them around !
