On May 1, 1561, King Charles IX of France received a lily of the valley as a lucky charm.
He decided to offer a lily of the valley each year to the ladies of the court.
At the beginning of the 20th century, it became custom to give a sprig of lily of the valley, a symbol of springtime, on May 1.
The government permits individuals and workers ' organisations to sell them tax-free.
Nowadays, people may present loved ones either with bunches of lily of the valley or dog rose flowers.
