reminds me of my mum, lovely flowers, beautiful scent :-\ :)
Gorgeous, reminds me of Ethel and Frank, adorable neighbours long gone x
Mmmm. What an armload of lily-of-the-valley you must have! I swear I can smell them from here. :)
Regardless of historical/ geographical accuracy, they're the ones that I always think of when I hear that line about the 'lilies of the field'...
that 'not Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these'.
I love them too - thanks for reminder - I must pick some and enjoy looking at them and the wonderful scent
.... just wishing that I could grow them.
Must check ours..........
Picked mine this year for the first time - always thought I should look not cut but the perfume indoors was wonderful - hope they will come again next year :-[
I've got very shy ones - only grow under the fence and dare not move them - they've appeared for the last 10 years!

Where I come from - they give lily of the valley to all an sundry every 1st May ! ;D
Oh wow, those look beautiful Grandma, wish mine were that good. :)
