Today, the 1st of May, French people use to give each other bunches of Lily of the Valley . This costom is said to date back to the 16th century and is a luck bringer .
Though if you want to give the Lily of the Valley ( Convallaria majalis) a place in your garden, Cotswold Garden Flowers carries an amazing variety. You can find botanical species as the C. Transcaucasica or hybrids in pink, variegated or double forms.
Easy to grow, give it a shaded place and forget about it. In a couple of years you will have a nice meadow of Convallaria growing all by itself.
So who can resist to this lovely luckbringer at this stage?

Uwielbiam konwalie. Dzisiaj w ogródku zerwałam pierwsze do wazonika. Nie widziałam jeszcze takich, jak na Twoim ostatnim zdjęciu. Pozdrawiam i dziękuję za miłe odwiedziny.
ReplyDeleteI love the lilies of the valley. Today in the garden, first broke the vase. I have not seen yet, such as in your last picture. I greet and thank you for your kind visit.
Ce frumoaseeee !!! Si cele cu frunze variegate imi plac enorm ... Nu stiam, ca exista atit de multe varietati.
ReplyDeletePe-aici sint rare lacrimioarele, nu-mi amintesc sa le fi vazut crescind prin gradini. Eu am facut o incercare si am plantat citeva anul trecut, acum sint ascunse printre degetei ...
