Lily of the Valley is noted as meaning “return of happiness” in the Victorian language of flowers— five entries above it the listing for White Lilac, which means “youthful innocence,” and five below it, the listing for Wild Licorice which means, “I declare against you.” This fascinating list of floral significance was not only used to speak in code, but also as a kind of oracle— were you to pass a patch of lilies of the valley, chances were good that happiness would soon return to you!
