White coral bells, upon a slender stalk...

This is the pot of lily-of-the-valley that I planted in 2015, starting out with just five scrawny little starts from the clearance rack at BiMart.  This is the first year they have bloomed!

Lily of the Valley, first blooms two years after planting!

They are so pretty, pure white and beautifully fragrant.

I wish I had a whole drift of them.  But the pot is filling in nicely, and my vision of the cobalt blue pot with white lily-of-the-valley is coming true.

Okay -- seriously, I thin these every single year from the rhododendron boxes. Next spring (or now if they are still there), take as many as you want. they grow like crazy and so there are plenty to share!
