Elizabethd has explained why in her excellent May Day post. I had always wondered what the connection was - thanks, Elizabeth!
I bought some yesterday, because this is what the Lily of the Valley currently looks like in my garden:
It's a bit embarassing, because when I left Edinburgh in early April my mother's plants were already thriving and in full bud. However, I did get this groovy cellophane as well as the wonderful plants, so perhaps the investment was worthwhile...Have a very happy May Day, wherever you are, and however you celebrate in your own country!

HOw beautiful -- they are my husband's favorite flower, his grandparents used to grow them in their backyard. It was also our wedding flower!
Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog this weekend -- We watched a Stawberry Shortcake movie with our little one this weekend, but some of our real family favorites have been Despereaux, Toy Story, Ratatouille and The Aristocats.
A couple of scary parts in there, but she's FAR more sophisticated since she started preschool and claims she isn't at all afraid -- even when she's hiding under the blanket ;)
Just wondered what does "tro-broc and recup" mean ?
Your description about mogaay and the tradition associayted with it is very enlightening. I have never seen these flowers but they look gorgeous.
