Huge fan of Lily of the Valley.
Beautiful
Someone very special to me grew these when I was a child, then we found out how toxic they are š perhaps in my front yard. 40 years later though, zone 9b is so hot and dry
Theyāre lovely! I will, however, forever resent whoever planted them in my yard. There are random sprouts of it throughout my front yard. It was clearly planted in the backyard. š
they smell SO GOOD
Lily of the valley is [toxic](https://www.webmd.com/first-aid/lily-of-the-valley-poisoning) and can make you very sick. Not sure itās the best idea to have it in a kitchen. Also watch out for pets that might try to nibble on it.
Edit: Can someone explain why Iām being downvoted? You can easily google this. Itās one of the reasons most gardening stores donāt sell these.
Lily of the valley is one of my favorite flowers but someone told me it was bad luck once and Iām very superstitious so now I never let it in my house. š¤¦š¼āāļø
Like these flowers!
If it’s considered invasive, why do suppliers still sell it.
The feeling when these pop up on acnh tho
I have a huge patch of lily of the valley and daylillies to dig up ughhhhHHH
Itās super pretty! They arenāt invasive in my home country and I miss them a lot! but please if you have pets or kids ensure they donāt eat them – super toxic.
I love them too and they donāt seem to spread where I am, maybe too cold. I have a gross amount of star of bethelehem though š
Who will you be poisoning?
Don’t let Walter White see this
I always think of Kate Middletonās wedding bouquet when I see Lily of the Valley!
Had no idea these were invasive! Theyāre pretty short lived though, like tulips or daffodils right? So maybe one of the least offensive invasive species?
My birth flower
not invasive.
I am well aware of the toxicity of this plant, I do not have any pets nor do I have children. Some of yāall seem to think iām gonna sautĆ© these up and feed them to my family.
These are considered gold in my family.
[Eurasian lily-of-the-valley](https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/european-lily-of-the-valley) (Convallaria majalis) is invasive in many regions outside of Europe, but [American lily-of-the-valley](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/convallaria-pseudomajalis/) (Convallaria pseudomajalis) is native and looks *extremely * similar, for those who like Lily of the Valley but would prefer a native version for where they live.
Whatever you do, if a guy name Walter asks for some do NOT give him any
Yet mine r struggling to grow š„²š„²š„²
Those are adorable. They look like the kind of flowers you see in fairy artwork
Since when are Lilly of the Valley invasive? If they like where they are planted, they will thrive. Unfortunately, I haven’t been successful getting them to grow in my side yard where I allow a few toxic, but lovely, plants to grow. Mostly, I grow veggies, herbs, and fruit.
Thatās like an $80 bouquet there. Good job!
Thatās beautiful.
