Late for Friday Flowers - Lily of the Valley


Look what I discovered in the back yard the other day..


some pretty pink stems of Lily of the Valley.


I had forgotten I had it in the garden, so it was a lovely surprise.


So delicate.


Lyndon asked why I'd bother growing it as it is small and doesn't look like much. Men!
I feel these small, unassuming plants add a little mystery to the garden. I loved stumbling upon it.
Plus, that fragrance!
Have a sweet weekend my friends.
I do have to work, but have 5 or 6 days off coming up on Thursday so I can't wait!

  3. They're perfection, aren't they?

    And do they have a nice scent? I should try and hunt some down.

    I think there's mowing on the agenda in the garden this weekend.

  4. Oh my gosh I love them.

    We have just been hit by a large hail storm here and I wonder what will be left in the garden. Yikes! x

  6. Hi! Just stumbled across your blog here i cyber world. :)
    Love those flowers. They remind me so much of my home country, Sweden where they grow wild, yes they do! But they are protected so you are not allowed to pick them. But you can always admire them in the forest where they grow.:-)
