Lily of the valley

Lily of the valley

Lilies-of-the-valley are extended in all Europe, on Caucasus, in Asia Minor, China and in the North America. The Lily-of-the-valley grows in deciduous and pine, and also the mixed woods, on edges and glades.

After flowering of Lilies-of-the-valley on a place of showered petals there is a large red berry. At the North American Indians living in territory of the present State of Massachusetts, the Lily-of-the-valley was considered as a sacred flower. In the Western hemisphere the Lily-of-the-valley grows only in this staff. Scientists assume that the flower has got somehow there from Europe and for some reason hasn't gone further. (Now it is one of three symbols of Massachusetts, others two - an elm and a seagull).
