Many years ago, a neighbor was cleaning out her garden and gave me two or three Lily of the Valley plants. Until she gave them to me, I had only seen the white variety of the flower, and that is what I expected to see when these bloomed. I was so disappointed to find that they were pink when they finally bloomed.
It was only about 3 years ago that I discovered that the pink variety are actually more rare than the white variety. They have spread so much over the years, that each year as I thin the garden down to a nice patch of Lily of the Valley, I sell the extras on eBay. This year I put them up on eBay and sold off 7 lots of 5 plants each within a day. I hope you are enjoying your gardens! I’m heading out right now to dig up 35 Lily of the Valley to pack up and mail.
I’m betting that smells as sweet as it looks. Beautiful!
