I need these back-to-back ego boosts today, I think.

I kept plugging until I got a flower that I liked - it didn't take long. All of the results are probably pretty favorable. But my birth flower is Lily of the Valley. I suspected there was a Marian tie-in, May being one of her months, but who would have thought this:

The flower is also known as Our Lady's tears since, according to legend, the tears Mary shed at the cross turned to Lilies of the Valley -- from Wikipedia

What's that in French, then, Les larmes de Notre Dame? Reminds me of that Mussolini shrine on the Mt. of Olives, Dominus Flevit. Well, Mussolini's long gone but, what a view, how could He cry?
