Nancy Kaufman June 3, 2023 at 4:44 AM this is an awesome poem Anne-Lise. Your descriptive adjectives capture the flower so well. I also appreciate the educational herbal reference. Enjoyed.

Gary Radice June 1, 2023 at 2:37 AM Anne-Lise, am I right in thinking Lily Of The Valley is the national flower of Finland? I like how you describe the flower in very poetic terms and then incorporate what lily of the valley symbolises to some: purity, love and how (in France anyway) they are given to people for good luck. (Thanks Google) I find the last bit a little strange as I believe the berries are toxic! :) I really enjoyed the read. Cheers - Gary Anne-Lise Andresen June 1, 2023 at 2:45 AM - Also as a fragrance in perfumes :) Anne-Lise Andresen June 1, 2023 at 2:41 AM - You are right that it is poisonous, Gary - But the poison convallatoxin from lily of the valley is used as a heart medicine :) - Many thanks for your comment :) - hugs
