In France on the 1st of May, people offer each other un brin de muguet, a sprig of my favorite flower, lily of the valley. This is the last bouquet of these sweet little blooms that I picked from my mother's garden before it was destroyed four years ago by Hurricane Sandy. (I kept this bouquet; it hardly looks like this now, but I still can't bring myself to part with it.) [Linking back to Today's Flowers at An English Girl Rambles.] |

Oh, how nice. It was in my bridal bouquet, 25 years ago
ReplyDeleteHi Alexa. So sad to read about your mother's garden. I wouldn't be able to part with this bouquet either, as lily of the valley is a favorite of mine also, and with its history, a real treasure. A lovely French tradition giving them on the 1st of May. Thank you for sharing with Today's Flowers. Your participation is very much appreciated:)
