Today is Sunday which means Sunday Scent Experience hosted by our dear friend @dutchess. I brought you some lily of the valley flowers, which also means spring to me. This little tiny flower has a strong scent and all parts of the plant highly poisonous.
I have an aunt, she's 98 and has a lot of lily of the valleys in front of her house. She calls me every year to go pick some for myself. This is from her garden.
Lily of the valley was Christian Dior's favorite flower. In 1956 Dior produced a fragrance simulating lily of the valley, which is considered a classic.
Lily of the valley has been used in weddings, was featured in the bridal bouquet at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
How beautiful what a elegant flower :))
Thank you! :)
Your welcome :)
