I don’t know if in your country, you can find and pick lily of the valley, but all around France, we celebrate “Labor Day” on May 1st and anyone can sell these flowers as long as they are away from a flower shop. It traditionally helped communist party members to raise money, now it is just a lovely way to celebrate!
So here is the product of my picking! I just wish you could smell it too.

I can smell it !!!!! Lovely
Luckily I have lots of lily of the valley in my garden. I pick a small bunch and put them right in front of me on the table, to enjoy the sight and the wonderful smell.
A few years ago a friend gave me some baby plants of lily of the valley. This spring the first one flowered. One of my local parks, Carl Schurz Park, also has a nice big patch of them. So lovely.
I love them.
Happy 1st of May.
Thank you for the information
I didn’t know:(
Bien sûr que nous pouvons le sentir ton joli muguet ! Merci Laure ! Joyeux 1er mai à toi aussi
