As cool as the pale wet leaves

Lovely poem, WWW, thanks so much for participating in GBMD.
Beautiful photo of lily-of-the-valley! Beautiful poem too!
I've never come across that one b4 - very nice. I'll have to remember it for when my LOV start blooming.
I've always wanted to have Lily Of The Valley, but I've heard it's toxic to pets. And my silly dogs nibble everything!

Wonderful! I've always wanted to grow lily-of-the-valley. I finally bought some this year, they're such sweet flowers. I can't wait til they start to bloom!
Beautiful lilli. I love Pound.
This is such a lovely photo. Lily of the Valley is the first plant I have memories of from my childhood. Now I have to run out and see how close mine is to blooming.
Nice photo- found your blog via Sweet home and G Chicago, I'll be back to visit again!
Wow! Great post. :-) I also LOVE the Rhubarb Tart post. What a photo! LOL.
Lily is flowering in my garden too. Such a lovely flower and with a wonderful scent. Great pic & poem!
Lily-of-the-valley is a favourite that reminds me of childhood, when the woods were crammed with them. Now I've got a handful in my garden and i cherish them very much. great shot and lovely poem!
