Lily of the Valley Coloring Pages
On the first of May, people in France give each other sprigs of lily of the valley for good luck. It's the May birth flower too, though every part of the plant is poisonous, so it's one to admire rather than nibble.
Lily of the valley is a woodland flower that grows best in the shade, which suits a troll who would rather avoid the sun. The sweet scent of those tiny white bells carries a long way, too, so he'd always know when they were blooming.
About Lily of the Valley:
Lily of the valley is painted in just two colors, snowy white and fresh green, and somehow that's all it needs. The tiny bells hang in a row like pearls on a string, and the broad leaves curl around the stems like green ribbons.
Picture a patch of them in the shade at the edge of a wood, the little white bells glowing in the dim light like lanterns, with a sweet perfume floating over the whole spot. It's a quiet kind of beautiful, the sort that makes you slow down and lean in close.
