The best-smelling Lilly of the Valley yesterday in #bloomingdale. #gardendc #gardenspotting #flowers #nofilter (Taken with instagram)

Post-posting note: Lilly of the Valley are tiny and easy to overlook.  The plant is about a foot tall and the very fragrant flowers are pea-sized.  Stooping down to smell them is totally worth looking completely silly.

One of my favorite projects this year: the Bottle and can vase bank. #cutherbs #freshflowers #DIY
