Lily-Of-The-Valley

I am quite a peculiar sort,
My fragrant blooming days are short. 

My petite petals well bell shaped, 
In virgin, pristine white they’re draped. 

I’m famed in myths and legends’ scope - 
Symbol of happiness and hope. 

Disclaimer: 
Beware beautiful butterfly, 
There’s more to me than meets the eye: 
My intense scent however sweet, 
Not designed as a nectar treat.

Gary Radice Date: 3/5/2024 12:45:00 PM Great poem Margarita. A few years back we were in Finland and found out this is their national flower. The flowers can be poisonous to humans and animals I believe but it doesn’t put off the French it seems as sprigs of L of the V are handed out to family on their Labour Day. (I only know this as I remember writing similar comments for another Souper’s poem about this flower a few years back) :) Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Margarita Lillico Date: 3/5/2024 2:58:00 PM Thank you, Gary. I was compelled to Google my all time fav flower due to the contest. Beauty and ‘thorns’ yet again:) Cheers!

Sam Kauffman Date: 3/5/2024 10:49:00 AM Your words are filled with the beauty of this wonderful flower - one of my favorites! I have several pots of lily of the valley on my patio and always eagerly await their blooms and scent! Best wishes for the contest! One of my favorite perfumes is based on this flower. Blessings.
