Lilies of the Valley

Sweet white spring flowers

Lilies of the valley are small woodland plants with arching stems bearing fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers.

The plural form is standard because the plant typically grows in clusters.

Despite the delicate appearance and sweet scent, all parts are poisonous.

The flower symbolizes purity and is traditional in bridal bouquets: She carried lilies of the valley on her wedding day.
