Fact 16

In France, May 1 is La Fete du Muguet, the festival of the lily of the valley. The celebration includes giving bouquets of lily of the valley to loved ones, wishing them health and happiness.How can such a tiny flower give off such a tremendous scent. Tiny lily of the valley sends up its lovely little sprays of bell like white or pale pink flowers each spring. Allow it to spread a little (which it does, so much that it can be a problem) and it will perfume the whole area with its distinctive scent. It also makes adorable, tiny bouquets. It makes a good groundcover in small areas.
