Good morning CoSo! Starting the day w #GoodVibes of a personal nature. I have Lily of the Valley planted in our raised flower bed. They look so innocent but they are the most invasive shits ever. They survive every fucking thing and controlling them is a huge battle. They are an inspiration and a metaphor for me because I live with anxiety and depression.

They were attempting to leave the raised flower bed. We had to remove paver stones and dig and dig and dig. Thankfully our next door neighbor and Nona by choice loves them and wanted some, so we gave the dug out ones to her.
I love love love the smell. Ours are just coming up.
We have wild lily of the valley too they are not as pretty or fragrant.
Wishing you a great day.

Thank you
@publickovacs They’re one of my favorite flowers. Didn’t know they were so invasive though.

If you ever get them, be ready for battle

Oh don’t you wish that you could hear them ring
That will only happen when the fairies sing.
@Megalicious
That is beautiful 😍 Thank you
@publickovacs
this was in the Girl Scout song book, circa 1960-70's
Sang it a lot as a child.
@Megalicious
I love it! I was absolutely not familiar with it
@publickovacs
I can still smell their fragrance. But you either control them or they control you. 😎
