Love, love, love when something wonderful is growing in your gardens, you bring some inside and still have plenty left outside so you don't look sad and scavengered. When I was out front digging I heard these lily of the valley calling me, tiny but mighty...delicate, yet so very fragrant, it's amazing how much energy can be in a such small package...makes me wonder if I know anyone like that? I do have to admit they are a favorite! I don't want to hear about how lily of the valley grow like weeds, or that along with the nice fairies it will also attrack the mean, gang land fairies from the hood that just want to fight, smoke the stems, run amuk and ruin the neighborhood. That just makes me like them more! An old fashioned perennial I don't have to do the dance of growth for, worry about if the neighbor's dogs have been "visiting" them too much, if they might have been slightly run over during the winter or if they will be making an appearance each year! Early in the spring they are first to arrive and bring friends, if I move them, they go with a smile and invite even more friends...what more could I ask for in a flower? I am giving them a 2 green thumbs up! Best of all, they were free!
