Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me.

Saturday Snapshot: May 7
Saturday Snapshotis a meme hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books. All you have to do is "post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken and then leave a direct link to your post in the Mr. Linky on [her] blog. Photos can be old or new, and be of anything as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give is up to you." All she asks is that you don't just post random photos that you find online.
A sure sign of May. I love lilies of the valley. I had tried and tried to get them to grow at my house with little success. My mom bought me plants. They seemed to die. Last year my boss gave me some plants and when I went out to put them in the ground, I found that some of the earlier attempts had suddenly sprung up. I had my first blooms that year and managed some repeats this year. I'm hoping for a whole bed of them one of these days.
I love lily-of-the-valley, I had them as part of my wedding bouquet and can always remember the lovely scent.
We have just come home from a short break in Wales, where we visited a lovely garden, that had a large flower bed, full of these lovely dainty flowers. The colour and scent were amazing.
Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
Very pretty! My mom could grow anything. I can't grow anything!!

Beautiful :) We've got a few plants & flowers popping up now... and I thought our winter would have killed them all off.

They always remind me of something that should grow in dark damp forest havens. I love them!
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers too. You have inspired me to plant them thus year! I am so happy you have your first blooms this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's day to you!
Once those get established you will have them forever. And they smell nice too. Mine are just popping up this week.
ReplyDeleteSo delicate and pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love lilies of all sorts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, if I had a garden I'd definitely have some of those.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I don't think I've ever seen lily-of-the-valley growing. They're beautiful!
