In the early 1900'
Lady Mary Wortley Montague
developed a language of flowers
in which significant sentimental
meanings and thoughts
were assigned to many flowers.
May's traditional flower is the
lily of the valley
and its sentimental meaning is:
return of happiness.

They are so pretty....
I love lily of the valley ~ they are so fragrant and the little bells look like they are punched out of white leather.
I have a mess of these sweet scented darlings that need to be moved before Bill dumps a load of gravel on them. The Lily of the Valley always remind me of Mom.
