YESS. they are standing in my garden again.

You know them, the lovely, small, white flowers that bloom at the beginning of May and smell so wonderful. On May 1, they are often donated to women to give them happiness. But where does that use actually come today.

This beautiful little flower, which is actually called Lily of the Valley, was already known in ancient times as a symbol of absolute purity, sincerity, prilty and happiness. In ecclesiastical communities, they are also often described as the tears of the Blessed Virgin Mary on her son's tomb. On a spiritual level, they help you with grounding, inner conflicts and give you the feeling of security and being carried.

We owe the use to donate it on May 1 to the French King Charles the 9th, who received a bouquet for happiness on May 1, 1569. He was so enamored by this gesture that he gifted every lady in waiting a bouquet the following year. and the custom was born.

Although the flower smells great, the plant is extremely poisonous. In medicine, however, she is known for her pos. results in mild heart disease and has therefore been used for centuries. Without sufficient knowledge, however, I would certainly not experiment with it.

Due to the wonderful scent, the plant is often used in perfumes and soaps. As an oil from better health care stores, you can also simply apply them to your skin. as a fragrance, but also to better ground or find peace in the face of inner conflicts. It is also a perfect support to heal your inner child.

By the way, did you know that this lovely little flower was also found in the bridal bouquet of Princess Catherine (Kate) of England. Personally, this white flower is my absolute favorite and every year I make sure that I have a bouquet in my house.

So if you don't know what to give your mother next Sunday, give her this pretty little flower.

I will give you all a virtual bouquet with all of these. in the hope that it brings you happiness.
