Today is the Fete du Muguet - lily of the valley - in France. For almost 500 years, it's been a tradition to give these pretty flowers to those you love, friends & family. It all began in 1561 when King Charles IX was given a sprig on 1st May & thought it such a lovely idea he gave the flowers to all the ladies of the court for May Day the next year & the habit became part of French history...
From me to you - happy Fete du Muguet... ❤️
