Lilies of the Valley
This shot of Lilies of the Valley (Convallaria) is actually from last year, taken in the Bronx Botanical Garden in New York, but the ones outside my house are just about blooming now, so I thought you’d like to see these sweet and fragrant little springtime bells. Don’t they cast such cute shadows?
Visit Shadow Shot Sunday for more interesting shadows and Today’s Flower for blooms of all kinds. Visit SOOC for more straight-out-of-the-camera photos.

Oh, what a lovely shadow shot, Sara! Such fragile and beautiful little blossoms! Delightful! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

Love them!! They seem to ring in spring & smell so sweet.
They do cast cute little shadows. I’m betting your garden at home is just as impressive as the Bronx Botanical Garden Sara! Lilies of the Valley is such a sweet name too! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend 🙂
My mother grew these on the side of our house when I was little. I didn’t appreciate them as much as I do now.
Lily of the Valley at one time was my favourite flower. I wanted them in my bridal bouguet. It did not happen as I got married out of season. I did have them in my garden at one time too but they become invasive here. Now I just enjoy them in someone elses garden. Thanks for sharing. Valerie
Mmmmm…one of my all time faves, mine aren’t even close to bloom…soon, I hope!
Wow they are very pretty. Thanks for sharing. Happy SOOC Sunday.

Oh my, the flowers are so delicate. Great shot.
Lovely photo, Sara. I can almost smell them.
Oh I can’t wait for our LoV’s to bloom…I love stepping outside and inhaling their sweet fragrance every summer!
great shadow shot of the lily of the valley … mine are just poking through the ground
I do so love lilies of the valley! Their delicate scent and beauty fill my senses. I wish there was scratch-and-sniff monitors so I could smell yours! I haven’t seen one around here in ages. Sigh. I love the tiny shadows they cast with their blooms. An exquisite photo!
So beautiful!
Wonderful! Love the vibrant green.
Lovely!

The blooms are so pretty and I’ll bet the scent is wonderful.
Very delicate and pretty!
They are beautiful, and I do love that shadow they cast. Thanks Sara, sorry for being a little late getting around this week but I didn’t want to miss your photos.
