MAY THE FIRST!

Here's your muguet/lily-of-the-valley for apotropaic purposes*!

(There must be a less convoluted way to convey "porte-bonheur" in English.)

A bit late, sorry, but a happy 1st of May to you.

[dhampyresa]

Much later reply, but thank you!

Oh, so lovely! Such a spring feeling, when you see the first ones pop up.

[dhampyresa]

I know, right? I love it so.

I'd say "for luck," I think! And this is a great picture. (And a great vase, too!)

[dhampyresa]

Thank you! On all three counts.

"Lucky charm" I think, is the closest English? Or you could just say "for good luck"!

Thank you! (Also "apotropaic" is one of those words I can never get right on the first try.)
