Lily of the valley is a woodland perennial known for its slender stems lined with small, bell-shaped flowers, often white and sweetly scented. Its low-growing leaves and graceful flower sprays make it a distinctive spring bloom. The collection brings together depictions of the plant and bouquets, alongside a drawing and objects featuring the flower as a motif. In nature, lily of the valley grows well in cool, shaded places and can spread into colonies; despite its delicate appearance, every part of the plant is poisonous if eaten. All parts of the plant should therefore be kept away from children and pets.
