A little history ?

According to mythology the god Apollo created the lily to carpet the valleys for his nine barefoot nymphs so that they would have a soft and fragrant carpet on which to walk. Often associated with Virgin Mary, the tears she shed at the foot of the cross would have given birth to lily of the valley flowers in the shape of white bells. Christian legends also tell the story of Saint Leonard, a forest hermit who fought a dragon. Having emerged victorious from the battle, it is said that the drops of blood which he poured gave birth to the lily of the valley flowers. This legend partly explains the belief that lily of the valley flowers would bring happiness. The Celts also believed it brought luck and that its flowering meant the return of spring and the abundance of nature. 

In the Middle Ages, May was the month of weddings, where couples would tie the knot. Tradition has it that a bouquet of lily of the valley (whose whiteness symbolizes purity) would be hung at the door of the beloved. During the Renaissance in the French countryside it was customary to offer lily of the valley bouquets to cast away the hardships of winter. 

On May 1, 1560, passing through one of his Duchies, King Charles IX was offered a sprig of lily of the valley. Pleasantly surprised, he decided to continue this tradition and at court the following year offered the ladies sprigs of lily of the valley as a lucky charm: the custom remained.
