My "Lily Of The Valley" is now in full flower, the clump is twenty feet or more across. Which is not bad for something which only got planted by accident, and it looks really good against the pink Cranesbill.

I recall seeing "Lily of the Valley" in growth as a young child. It was one of my earliest memories!!

How does it smell? Lily of the valley is one of my favorite perfumes…

Even better than the perfume.
@Fernapple I had these growing under the porch at a house where I lived and they had no scent. I found some in another part of the yard and they smelled heavenly. I walk past two huge lilac bushes every day and they have a sour odor. I think conditions must be right for them for perfect scents.
@Killtheskyfairy I think that for the best scent they need a damp soil.
How beautiful! It seems accidents can turn out to be quite lovely.

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.
