Lily of the Valley is the flower for May babies like me and is my favorite (other than sterling roses). This flower is a bit like me, in a way, and to explain this I quote this http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/136746/gardening_tips_lilyofthevalley_is_a.html
website: "Lily-of-the-Valley is an old-fashioned perennial that looks so delicate with its tiny bell shaped flowers. There is not anything delicate about this hardy shade-lover. Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) is a tough-as-nails perennial that will keep going after many others fail to thrive." That’s me…smells good, loves shade, hardy.

Taking photos of them is a real trip!
Usually I have to LAY DOWN to get
the photo as they are so low to the
ground.
Since I do not have my own yard
right now, you will see me on the
ground around town, smelling them
if I can possibly get close enough
to them (without treading on
others property) or flat out
just trying to get the photo!
