Lilies of the Valley

Happy Spring everyone. Today's post is about May Day (which would have been more appropriate to have written 10 days ago- but I am behind with most things). So in France May Day is celebrated with Lilies of the Valley. They are called "le muguet" there. In the 16th century wreaths of le muguet were hung on the doors of brides-to-be in May. May Day is the labor holiday in France and workers wear boutonniers of these lovely little flowers on this day. And lastly, the blooming of these spring flowers signifies the "official" return to happiness. 
So that's something to celebrate.
