So pleased to see a few flowering 🤍 #lily-of-the-valley #convallaria-majalis

So pretty 🥰

@kez001uk l love lily of the valley even the name, l really must try to grow some. 👍🤞

Very cute and lovely scent. 🤍🤍

You’ll have 100’s next year….😆

@debs69 they are adorable 🤍

@gwenniemom they’re lovely aren’t they 🤍 you should give them a go! Apparently once they establish you’ll have them forever 😅

@hkyfvr they do have a gorgeous fragrance, even from just one stalk! 😋

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I say I’d love that but not sure my head could take that strong a smell 😂

Finally 😛 #lily-of-the-valley #convallaria-majalis

They’re worth the wait Kerry 👏🏼👏🏼

Yay. Such cute little flowers. The scent is lovely too. 🤍💚🤍

Love them Kerry mines are almost out too…enjoy their fab #scent 🤍💚

@sieveheadsarah @hkyfvr @KOutdoors @mich thank you all 😀 the scent really is lovely 😋 hopefully there will be more to sniff next year 🤞🏻😅

Very welcome 🤍💚

Finally going to get a flower 🤩 #lily-of-the-valley #convallaria-majalis

That’s exciting Kerry, don’t forget to have a sniff 👍🏼

They are going to smell so divine. Love these. 🤍🤍

@sieveheadsarah @hkyfvr don’t think I’ve ever smelled them before 🤔 hopefully this time I’ll get a chance 😛

@KOutdoors I do hope so 😋 They’re supposed to be very easy but I’ve tried 3 times and had very little luck with them 😐 they seem better for being in a much shadier position than my previous attempts 😅

@KOutdoors that’s the only downside to this app, the endless temptation 🤣 I had them in dry shade the first couple of times I tried them. Had about 3 flower out of 30+ plants, and they never came back a second year. This time they’re in damp shade which seems to suit them more

You will love their scent. Just so sweet and delicate. 😍😍😍

They smell amazing Kerry 😍

Exciting!

@KOutdoors seems that’s how these work. Once they’re happy they grow like mad 😅

@hkyfvr it has started to open today so need to give it a whiff tomorrow 😛

@sieveheadsarah it’s finally opening so I’ll soon find out 😁

Your ones look so much better! Mine has two miserable tiny leaves. I think I've figure it out that I have been watering it too much. My dad's lily of the valleys were in a very dry soil and they were all about to flower. Will have to get more next year and try again 😥

@ublaszko these are the only ones looking good but no signs of flowers ☹️ maybe that’s what it is, I barely ever water these as they’re in shade

I must try that. I'm the queen of overwatering 😂

@ublaszko oh me too but after so many failed attempts at growing them I try any and everything 😂 your tip to keep them out of the elements definitely helped 👍🏻
