Convallaria majalis, Ephemera, Our-Lady's-Tears, Liriconfancy
whatever you want to call it, I love Lily-of-the-Valley. When my family moved from Texas to Buffalo, there was a patch of it at our new house from an old farm. The farm had long gone over to suburban houses, but the flowers remained. After the hot and dry of Texas, LOTV was the most wonderful, delicate flower I had ever seen and it was just growing all on its ownsome! I fell in love with how it smelled and I promised myself that when I had my own home, there would be a Lily patch. I planted my first pips (pips!) this spring and have found it growing in the wood's edge at the neighbor's. Next year we will have flowers of our own to pick.
