Who is the Lily of the Valleys?

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. - Song of Solomon 2:1.

Who is the Lily of the Valleys?
This is a wonderful flower, but this flower is also known as Our Lady%26#039;s tears since, according to Christian legend, the tears Mary shed at the cross turned to Lilies of the Valley. According to another legend, Lilies of the Valley also sprang from the blood of St. George during his battle with the dragon. Other names include May Lily, May Bells, Lily Constancy, Ladder-to-Heaven, Male Lily and Muguet.





Traditionally, Lily of the Valley is sold in the streets of France on May 1. Lily of the Valley became the national flower of Finland in 1982. The Norwegian municipality Lunner has a Lily of the Valley in its coat-of-arms. It is the official flower of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, Kappa Sigma fraternity, Delta Omicron fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority, and Alpha Phi sorority.





The name %26quot;Lily of the Valley%26quot; is also used in some English translations of the Bible in Song of Songs 2:1, although whether the Hebrew word %26quot;shoshana%26quot; (usually denoting a rose) originally used there refers to this species or not is uncertain. The meaning of this flower is %26quot;You will find Happiness.%26quot; This is the Song od Songs 2:1 :1 I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.


2:2 As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.


2:3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.


2:4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.


2:5 Stregthen+ me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.


2:6 His left hand [is] under my head, And his right hand embraces me.


2:7 I adjure you+, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That you+ do not stir up, nor awake [my] love, Until he pleases.


2:8 The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, Leaping on the mountains, Skipping on the hills.


2:9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: Look, he stands behind our wall; He looks in at the windows; He glances through the lattice.


2:10 My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.


2:11 For, look, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;


2:12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing [of birds] has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land;


2:13 The fig-tree ripens her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.


2:14 O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the steep place, Let me see your countenance, Let me hear your voice; For sweet is your voice, and your countenance is comely.


2:15 Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.


2:16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: He shepherds [his flock] among the lilies.


2:17 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young hart On the mountains of Bether. You can also listen to it http://read.updated.org/bible/So/2/1?ope...

Are Lillies of the Valley very popular with girls? My girlfriend's birth-flower is the Lily of the Valley.

We%26#039;re all different, of course; but personally I love them... they%26#039;re so beautifully fragrant.


I usually include them (when they%26#039;re available) in some of the flower arrangements that I buy for my home.

my mother had a long string of them on the north side of her home and my wife has grown them for years our grandaughter loves them too :)
Reply:I would think so, they are such a delicate flower, I wander if anyone carries them, alot of people have never seen a Lily of the Valley flower
Reply:Lily of the Valley is very delicate and grows in the shade. It has a very sweet, kind of strong smell. I think they are really pretty. If you are planning on getting some for her, maybe you could find out some information and tie that into how you feel about her.

Name some perfumes that consists of jasmine and lily of the valley?

Elizabeth Arden%26#039;s Red Door fragrance, a flowery blend of red rose, violet, jasmine, lily of the valley, and orchid + a touch of honey. It%26#039;s a wonderfully, sexy, alluring, seductive perfume. Just remember a little dab will do you. The key spots to put perfume - the inside of one wrist - then lightly brush it against the other wrist, then the right wrist against the inside of the left elbow, and the left wrist against the inside of the right elbow. Then a light spray to your finger tips on one hand - a dot dab behind each ear lobe. (Sometimes I%26#039;ll do the wrist and inside of the elbow thing then lightly brush my wrists through my hair.)





If you want to find a list of perfumes containing the jasmine, got to www.ask.com and type in %26quot;Perfumes containing jasmine%26quot;... then do it typing in %26quot;Perfumes containing lily of the valley%26quot;. It%26#039;ll give you lots of options to click on and read about. But I used Red Door for years and it%26#039;s a delightful combination...just remember a little dab will do you. Sometimes we have a tendency to overdo because our %26quot;smeller%26quot; grows more accustom to the fragrance over time and we can%26#039;t smell it as readily as those around us. Happy perfume shopping!

My hampster started biting on my grandma's lily of the valley plant.will he get sick??

Lily of the valley is potentially toxic. Don%26#039;t know if your hamster actually ate enough to cause a problem. Hopefully not.

Live in Maryland and can not get my lily of the Valley to bloom. In mostly shade. What am I doing wrong?

I am sure it is the weather. Most of us are having this same problem. The earth is still too cold. Give it time.

Lily of the valley like it shady and damp. If they have done well before in the same area of the garden, then it is just a matter of time. Good Luck

When is the best month to plant lily of the valley.?

I%26#039;ve been thinking of planting some. I love the smell of the tiny flower. And can I buy it in seed form or do I need the root? I%26#039;m not a gardener just love the flower.

When is the best month to plant lily of the valley.?
It%26#039;s usually best to plant lily-of-the-valley in the spring. Normally, they are sold in bulb form, which will give better results than seed. This is especially true in the first year.
