Lily of the valley has a worldwide following.Legend has it that Lily of the valley sprang from Eve's tears when she was exiled from the Garden of Eden.
It became Finland's national flower in 1967 and was the floral emblem of Yugoslavia. France also celebrates La Fête du Muguet (Lily of the Valley Day) on May 1. To celebrate this holiday, which is similar to our Labor Day, the French offer a small bouquet of lily of the valley to their loved ones for good luck and love.
