Mine are not yet in bloom and I can’t wait. There is something so exquisite and tiny and temporal about Lily-of-the-Valley. Carolyne Roehm really knows how to make a presentation, doesn’t she? And seeing it in bridal bouquets is somehow very fitting. Lily-of-the-Valley are also known as May Bells, and in France muguet de bois, or “lily of the valley in the wood,” loosely translated. It’s also the national flower of Finland.
Beautiful tradition!
I was struck by the appearance of sadness on the exquisite face of Princess Grace-
They say she really didn’t want to give up her career as an actress?
Thanks for the lovely images !
My favorite flower. I could be surrounded by their scent every day!
