WEE LILY OF THE VALLEY clusters hung their heads more heavily in my garden after a morning rainfall last week. In a thick forest of leaves, only one leaf (click on photo for detail) retained a droplet of water.
The delicate lily is often portrayed in fairy art. When the sun peeks through and shadow and light fall on the foliage, it is easy to imagine tiny winged creatures tilting these cups for sips of water. But when I went by, beads of rain simply rolled off the leaves and the fragrant bell-shaped flowers did not raise their heads to capture a drop or sound a single note in my presence.You can soak in more sites from around the globe at Watery Wednesday.

Beautiful little lilies despite the lack of tiny winged creatures. I love the water drops.
