Maggie's Lily of the Valley by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Maggie's Lily of the Valley

I took a clump of lily of the valley from Maggie's front garden and planted them in five different areas in mine. I have leaves and a few with tiny white bells.
I wish I could remember the rhyme Maggie told me last year, as she watched me pick some of her flowers.
I love Lily of the Valley. This is so pretty.

White Coral bells upon a slender stalk, lilies of the valley deck my garden walk.

Oh don’t you wish that you could hear them ring? that will happen only when the fairies sing

Next to Daffodils, they're my favorite flower- after all I was born in May! There was a poem/song my mom used to sing, and it went:

White coral bells upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley line my garden walk.
Oh, don't you wish that you could hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.

You could sing it as a round too.

@mittens it is a lovely flower

I had the window reflection pointed out to me, debated about cloning it out and reuploading, but decided it looked more like a catch light!?
May 4th, 2022  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I didn’t notice the reflection until you said!
May 4th, 2022  
@carole_sandford so annoying as I'd even checked it at 100% but only the edges of petals got my attention!!
May 4th, 2022  
Beautiful

@grammyn I wouldn’t have been able to come up with the rhyme. But as soon as I read your comment, it comes back to me — such a familiar thing.
May 5th, 2022  
I also didn’t realize that was a reflection until you said it was. I wouldn’t worry about cloning it out. Why mess with a lovely image?

Such a gorgeous shot with great DoF! Really nice on the black background. I can almost smell them they are so crisp!
Thank you for entering the macro challenge!
