Lily of the Valley



These flowers grow in a very narrow shady border by the side of the house. They spread like mad and provide a lovely colour combination of green and white.



Lily of the Valley is sometimes called Ladders to Heaven. You don't have to climb them to enjoy their beautiful scent.

Who needs an air freshener in the loo when there is Lily
of the Valley around?

  5. I had completely forgotten until I read your post... We had Lily of the Valley in our garden when I was growing up!
    My nan always allowed me to pick some and bring inside (obviously you don't want to give a child free-reign on picking flowers!), and that was so special!
    Thank you for bringing back a memory - and the smiles that come with it!
