The Lily of the Valley, Convallaria majalis, is in flower in the garden now. It started years ago as just a couple of plants and just kept spreading, it is a native wild flower in Britain and seems happy here with me. The flowering season is not long, but the scent is wonderful and the leaves are an attractive carpet for several months.

Lucky you! We had this by the front door on our first home. I used to take a sprig every morning to smell all day. I tried to take some to replant when we moved but couldn’t get them to flourish.

Yes, I shall try to make up a posy to take to my friend tonight. I will lose some flowers, but they will scent her house.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
