Delicate white bells of Convallaria majalis, also known as lily of the valley or May lily

Discover the regal elegance of Lily of the Valley, the cherished flower of Britain's longest-reigning monarch. Queen Elizabeth II, who gracefully led the British monarchy through seven decades until 2022, carried this delicate bloom in both her wedding bouquet in 1947 and her coronation flowers in 1953. This wasn't merely coincidence – the tradition traces back to 16th-century French King Charles IX, marking these pristine white bells as truly royal flowers.
