Spring Lily-of-the-Valley IAVOM

Cathy at Rambling in the Garden has a meme that every Monday you post a vase of flowers.Cathy has a knack of having flowers all year round which encourages everyone to try to have something in your vase.  I don't often post but the pink Lily-of-the Valley is so pretty this year. Often the pink is washed out for some reason. This year they are so very pink. Along with the LOV are some small leaves of the mini hosta 'Cheatin Heart'. 
They vase is only about 4" tall, one of a trio of small vases that my daughter gave me years ago. I give them a workout this time of year.
While the Pink LOV doesn't smell as strong as the traditional white LOV it blooms a little earlier for me and adds a little sparkle to the garden.
If you want to see what people from all over are putting in their vase  pop over to Cathy's blog here for some spring time fun or perhaps even some fall colors from down under.

  1. Oh thank you for posting this Lisa. I love love love lily of the valley, and the only ones I ever had were eaten by the nasty voles. They are so innocent and lovely. Under a bit of stress lately and these have brightened my day so again thank you:-)

  2. Oh, I remember In a Vase on Monday from Peter's blog. I miss Peter. My white lily of the valley is just opening up. I have a sweet little Waterford vase that will soon hold a sweet little bunch of them.
    Thanks for the pretty post.

    1. Jan, yes I have to keep a watch on them because they would take over if allowed to.
