A very nice coworker of mine gave me some lily of the valley from her garden. It's been in a pot in my kitchen for the last few days, and it bloomed! Even the foliage is beautiful and graceful. I'm absolutely in love!

My questions are, how long do the blooms last? Can lily of the valley be kept as a houseplant? I'm going to put them in my window boxes, but the fact that it bloomed while in the house has me thinking.... :) And what are good things to plant under them?

By the way, if anyone wants a true-to-life lily of the valley perfume, try the one that Crabtree and Evelyn has. It's amazing! Now that I've smelled the real deal, I'm amazed by how true the scent is. I swear I'm not getting paid to say that! :)
