Lily of the valley.

The picture I had in my mind to put on Blip today was not good. This afternoon I had to search for something else and this is the result:
Lily of the valley in an old cup and saucer.
On one side of our house we have a lot of these elegant flowers and it's a enjoyment to look at them!

Lily of the valley has been used for medicinal purposes. It is believed to strengthen memory, to restore speech and as a liquor smeared on the forehead and the back of the neck, to make one have good common sense. All parts of the plant are considered poisonous.

I like them the best in our garden or in a nice vase, although to strengthen my memory wouldn't be so bad either!
