Lily of the Valley

Sweetness and Humility

About the Lily of the Valley

In the Victorian classic The language of Flowers, the Lily of the Valley is said to symbolise the return of happiness. It is named for it's native habitat (the Latin word 'convallis' means enclosed valley). Although Lily of the Valley bears dozens of blossoms, they only last for a week or less. The bell shaped flowers infuse the air with fragrance throughout the day.

Growing Lily of the valley

Find a location where the soil drains well. Plant roots where they will receive light to moderate shade. After planting, water generously, soaking the soil to settle it around the roots. When in bloom, feel free to cut the petite bell-shaped flowers for bouquets. After blooming has finished for the season, leave the foliage in place, don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the plants for the future. Your Lily of the valley will rest for a few months before beginning the next growing cycle in Spring once again.

Emerald

(Birthstone of May)

The Emerald is always green. The deeper the colour, the more valuable the stone. It is so prized, that a fine Emerald may be two to three times as valuable as a Diamond.
