April showers bring May flowers,
goes the nursery rhyme.
Coming home from work today,
the fragrance was sublime.
Gotta fill a vase and enjoy,
missing out would be a crime.
I see some weeding in my future,
really must take the time:@)
Stop to smell the flowers and have a happy day!
they're just the most delicate and amazing flowers! so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! My Lily of the Valley are just beginning to bloom. I don't think there is a sweeter fragrance in the world!
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty! sandie
ReplyDeleteThese are the sweetest flowers....I don't see these grow here in the south!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! They do have the sweetest fragrance too. I enjoyed seeing your lilies of the valley, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteI love these, they grow all around a big oak in my backyard. And yes, the smell heavenly!
ReplyDeleteXO,

I love lily of the valley. Love your poem, too, and plenty of weeding in my future! xo
ReplyDeleteThey are the most beautiful flowers, I wish I could grown them but the never come up.
ReplyDeleteMerle..............
They are beautiful and have a wonderful fragrance too. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour lily of the valley is beautiful! I weeded today and got my first two mosquito bites :/
ReplyDeleteSpring has finally arrived. Yea!!! Your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring.

I sure miss lily of the valley and I love your poem. I have never seen a single one in Texas, but I can close my eyes and smell their lovely fragrance. Your lucky to be able to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI love them. they are so small and pretty. Of all the flowers I have in my garden I don't have any Lily of the Valley, will have to find some and plant them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post - the pictures are outstanding!
Mary
I can smell them from here! Next to lilacs they are my favorite spring flower...Enjoy! xo
ReplyDeleteMine are in full bloom also and the smell is more wonderful than any perfume I have ever smelled. God is good.
ReplyDeleteLoved the poem as much as the shot of the flowers. Actually, since it's still early here, I am a little groggy. I read "weeding in the future here" as "wedding in the future" at first. I thought you were giving an announcement.
ReplyDeleteHa!
Gorgeous Lynn! I must plant some since it will grow in deep shade, I have a spot behind my potting shed that is ideal. Love your poetry :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had lilies of the valley in her garden. You've brought back some sweet memories this morning. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteSam
Oooohhh one of my favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteLynn, I read that too quickly, and I thought it said, "I see a wedding in my future." Well, it would be a beautiful bloom for a bridal bouquet. Thought you'd get a smile out of my pre-coffee brain at work. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite flowers and yet I never remember to plant any! They remind me of my childhood and little bouquets brought into the house for my mother!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell what must have been an incredible fragrance through my computer screen....mmmmmm. Your pictures are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhy have I never planted lily of the valley? LOVE!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Debbie
Love, love them. Great images Lynn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've never planted these and I don't dare now with Bruce around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy sight to greet you when you come home.
Oh Lynn, I love your clever poem. :-D Your Lilies of the Valley are SO pretty -- definitely one of God's little miracles. They are one of the sweetest little flowers I know of, and that fragrance is just the best! I'm so glad you were greeted by these lovelies when you got home from work.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend, Lynn!
Hugs,
Denise at Forest Manor
Lynn, you have these beauties in your yard??? Wow! They are truly lovely, and I love the way they smell. I have only seen them in bouquets from the florist (not sure if we can't grow them here or what), but I am in love. Such a lovely, lovely flower, and I can see why you would want a bouquet in your home.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila
Lilies of the Valley always remind me of weekends at grandma's. We don't have any at this house, I need to get some planted. Love the fragrance :)
