Lily Of The Valley (Convallaria majalis) also known as Ladder-to-Heaven, Jacob's Ladder.
A legend says that the scent of Lilyof-the-Valley attracts the nightingale from hedgerows, and leads him to choose his mate.
The fragrance is wonderful, but like many beautiful plants,this one is poisonous.
Taken early one morning in my garden with Canon 450D, 60mm macro lens.I did not get the focus right but think it might look ok
Thank you for viewing and for comments which are always valued :)

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
They look so lovely against the dark background Lyn. The soft focus makes them only prettier.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Beautiful shot, Lyn love the lighting and the composition. I have some under the bedroom window what a lovely scent to wake up to in the morning.Almost as good as coffee !

I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice. ~ Linda McCartney ~
I think the focus has a soft look that goes with the lighting - I'm very allergic to this particular flower so I'll take your word on the scent.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
It looks fine focus wise..Maybe f/8 would have widened it clarity wise..I like it like this anyway..R.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
I think the focus is fine, Lyn...the softness seems quite fitting for these delicate little flowers...very pretty.

Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
Tiny and lovely Lyn! I love the green too.

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.
Oh, but I think you did get the focus right. Looks very delicate. Great comp.

Perhaps switch to manual focus next time around if you haven't been using it for this shot. Still a nice capture of the blooms. Warm lighting and colours and a nice softness in the photo.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
