White coral bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley
Down my garden walk

Oh, don’t you wish
That you could
hear them ring.
That will happen only
when the fairies sing.

A popular woodland perennial known for its sweetly scented, bell-shaped flowers. These flowers were photographed from our front walk. Planted by the previous owner, their number has diminished with the year, yet a hardy few still persist. Eventually these white flowers will yield orange berries.
