Welcome to Macro Flowers Saturday!
Nice weekend to you all!
My contribution is the sweet scented Lily of the valley, another symbol of May.
The sight and fragrance of these small bell-shaped flowers have delighted poets and gardeners for centuries.
Many superstitions surround this ancient plant, one of which is that the nightingale is unable to sing until lilies bloom and fill the air with their lovely fragrance.
Although the delicate blossoms suggest purity, the berries and foliage, as well as the blossoms, are poisonous.

When I see this flowers I know that spring is here. It also reminds me of a fragance from Christian Dior "Diorissimo"
I love lily of the valley! So delicate, and the smell is heavenly!
Our lily of the valley are in full bloom here, but we didn't smell anything..must try again!
Lily of the Valley are a charmer, I pick a few from my garden for our bathroom, they smell so sweet!
My first time to join this meme.
These are pretty, and they almost look like snow drops, but maybe I am wrong.
Beautiful!
So glad I have found you again - I lost you for a couple of weeks. I am having the devil of a time getting the link to work, and no time to play with it. But I have you bookmarked now, so I can work on the link next week. Yes, I have followed the instructions, three times.
And I love you lily of the valley photos!!!
