Some flowers when they appear in the garden stir the emotions. Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) not only has sweet springtime smells awakening the senses it opens special memories for my family. It was my mother’s favorite flower. Not being aware of this history, my daugher claimed it as her favorite flower. Coincidence?

Special indeed are the flowers that connect family and friends. Copyright 2023 Pamela Breitberg
