Un petit brin de muguet

This should have been uploaded on the 1st May, as it is traditional in France to give someone lily-of-the-valley as a good luck token on that day. However, my lily-of-the-valley only started flowering yesterday. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Finland and the motif of the French rugby club Toulon.

I didn't know this lily had such a range of impact. It's a lovely image -- posting it means we'll all have luck, right?
