Symbolizing the "return of happiness," the lily of the valley flower blooms in sprays of delicate white bells during the rich spring months. Lacking true sepals, their tepals form each blossom, filling the air with a sweet and nostalgic fragrance, beckoning passers by closer and closer. In the fall these sweet sprays of milky white flowers become vermillion berries, and their lush green foliage begins to wilt away… but don’t lament. These petite blooms are unexpectedly hardy and will return each spring for many years. Denoting youth, rebirth, purity, and serenity, the lily of the valley has quietly enchanted us for hundreds of years.
