This is a humble little arrangement which I put together in a big hurry, but these flowers are some of my favorites and so dear to my heart. A friend very kindly gave me some lily-of-the-valley last week and a few stems got broken in the transplanting process, so I had an excuse to use them in this vase where I can enjoy their heavenly fragrance close-up! All of these flowers seem to be favorite subjects for poems, so I included a little verse for each that I often remember when I think of them. :) "White bud! thou ’rt emblem of a lovelier thing, "...whose rosy spurred cups look like a double shield ." "It is the more beautiful for being small and unpretending; even flowers must be modest." "I send thee pansies while the year is young, I am looking forward to seeing what other gardeners are picking in their gardens this week! You can see them too at Rambling in the Garden. Have a great week!

All these lovelies made me smile. Our lily of the valley bloomed last week and now it is gone. It is too bad such a sweet flower has such a short season.

A very sweet arrangement indeed, and I enjoyed the poetic commentary.
