Britney Spears Could Use Lilies Of The Valley In Her Next Bridal BouquetCopyright © 2007-2008 Wesley Berry, AAFAs is the way with many Hollywood marriages, singer Britney Spears' marriage to rapper Kevin Federline has come to an end. So, Ms. Spears now finds herself "on the market" again and may one day find herself walking down the aisle once again. If she does, she may want to use the popular Lily of the Valley in her bridal bouquet. The Lily of the Valley, whose scientific name is convallaria majalis, is most often used as a garden perennial, but has begun to gain popularity as both a cut flower and in wedding bouquets. It is a small plant, with stems growing only 15 to 30 centimeters tall and having two leaves of 10 to 25 centimeters in length. The flowers grow from the stems in groups of five to fifteen tiny, white, bell-shaped flowers. The sweetly scented flowers bloom in late spring. The plant also bears a small red berry. The leaves and flowers of the Lily of the Valley are also used to produce heart medications because they contain cardiac glycosides. However, the plant can be poisonous to children and pets, so great care should be taken to prevent accidental ingestion. The Lily of the Valley has also been called Our Lady's Tears because of a beautiful legend that says the flower sprang from Mary's tears as she wept at the foot of Jesus' cross. Another legend holds that the flower bloomed from droplets of blood shed by St. Leonard as he battled a dragon. Another name the Lily of the Valley is often called is the May Lily. This is because it is traditionally sold in the streets of France on May 1. Other common names for the flower are: The Lily of the Valley is a charming little flower that makes a terrific accent flower to many kinds of arrangements. It also provides a lovely, light scent. So, if Britney Spears does find herself taking a trip down the aisle again, she may want to consider adding this gorgeous flower with its beautiful background legend to her bouquet. About The Author:
