in the garden - lily of the valley

Currently you can smell our gardens before you actually see them.

We have three parts of our gardens that are full of blooming Lily of the Valley and their scent is unbelievable. Naturally, I pulled enough for a small arrangement and put them in the living room.

They always remind me of royal wedding bouquets.

The First Lilacs and Lily of the Valley

We've been enjoying the warm Spring evenings in the garden, puttering about the yard. The sunlight is soft and dappled and the yard is peaceful.

It's also more fragrant now that our Lilacs have been blooming.

There are even a few early flowering bells of Lily of the Valley, which too add their fragrance.

And what's better than being able to bring some inside to enjoy?
