Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Lily of the valley........
This planting has been here I am sure as soon as the house was built in 1904. It is around most older Iowan's homes and I am sure the neighbors shared it with everyone.
I have two photos to share today as this one is more in focus than the one above. The leaves in the foreground are columbine leaves.

I love the fragrance of the Lily of the Valley. Great photo Larry! :)
Lily of the Valley has such lovely, delicate flowers. I can smell them from here.
My flowers are so slow in blooming, the weather has been so cold we had frost the other morning. We had a couple of days in the 80's a week ago...crazy weather!
Sunny :)
I love this flower and above all this fragrance. I have a lot ot them in my garden. I have even pink Lily of the valley.
Actually I quite like the first one which is not so much out pf focus as "coming into focus"
This is one of my favorite plants. My sister Karen, in Indiana, has a blog named Lily Valley. We have always had what I thought was Lily of the Valley greenery to come up every Spring here, but not until this year, did it actually bloom! The fragrance was wonderful and I'm thankful to a past gardener for planting it here! Your pictures are just beautiful!
Lily of the Valley reminds me of childhood, I think it was the first flower I learned to identify. I still love it now.
One of my very favorite flowers!
Ooooo, I LOVE the smell of them. But they are very invasive. We have a bunch that nearly doubles every year. But I keep them because I have to pick them and take a deeeeep sniff of their fragrance all the time!
Lovely...they are the flower of the Helston Furrydance, too. The inn we stayed in had some for our lapels and I bought a tea cup with them on it.
