Lily
of the Valley :
Their fresh , perfumelike scent is unmistakable, and its hard to believed such a delicious fragrance can come from such tiny flowers.
With its bell shaped florets dangling form a thin stem, the lily of the valley is sometimes called the ladder to heaven. In Norse mythology, the flower is linked to Ostara, the goddess of springtime, and while most plentiful during this season, it remains available and very expensive year round. While most people only know of the white lily of the valley, there also exists a very rare rosy pink variety.
