Even Closer

I love thoses Lily of the Valley. They are beautiful flowers. It is amazing, I got a shovel full of these from a place I worked back in 2000. Now I have them in 4 different spots. Yours looks really healthy. Great picture, thanks for sharing it with us.

I have lots of memories with these little delicate flowers. Along side the house where I grew up we had some growing. I knew when they bloomed that spring/summer was here. Here is a funny story with these flowers. My sister and I would take one of the tiny bells. Put one at the bottom of our nose and we could breath in and make the bell float. We were just little girls, we would see who could make their flower float the longest. Well my sister being a nerd, sniffed a little too hard. The bell went up her nose. My mom couldn't get it out. Instead of blowing she would sniff, eventually all was well. This funny memory always pops in my head when I see the flower.

They are so pretty. The last house I lived in I had them coming up in the lawn. I would avoid mowing until the finished blooming so I could enjoy them. I planted some at this house two years ago. They came up but did not bloom and this year they never showed up at all. Have to plant some more this fall.

Those are really pretty. I like all types of Lily's. It has nothing to do with the fact that my daughter is named Lily either. I just like them. Very nice picture. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Oh, those are so beautiful!! I love those flowers. I have a shady place on the east side of my house that would be perfect for them! Do you grow them from seeds or what? I love their scent, too. When I look at things like this, I wonder how in the world anyone could believe that there's not a Creator up there somewhere. These are too beautiful to be a random accident.

Hi Grandpa Bob that photo is just gorgeous. I saw the waterdrop; really nice. Lillies of the valley are such charmers too. I see nothing to critize but much to admire . you are really a great photographer .

Lily of the Valley are such a lovely little flower. We have a patch of them in our lower garden bed. The fragrance is sweet too. Unfortunately I cannot be around them for very long because of the fragrance which I am allergic to.

I bet you can almost smell them, as well. They are lovely flowers. I can tell you have a lot of pleasure in your yard and garden.

So pretty. Have you ever thought of sending in any of your pictures to jigsaw puzzle makers for puzzles? Some of them would make wonderful puzzles.

Just responding so I can see the beautiful flowers, and the rain drop of course.

Chiming Bells! What a beautiful and tranquil name. I love flowers and gardening. I don't get to do much gardening these days, but it's certainly the season. I love photos of flowers and often convert them into screensavers and wallpaper for my computer. I have tons of flower pics. I'm always collecting them. You've taken such a lovely photograph. I hope you are displaying them online at your blog for the whole world to enjoy! No criticisms at all, on my part. Good job!

They are beautiful Bob! Makes me want to bend down and smell them! Thanks for sharing!
