フランスでは５月１日にお世話になっている人などにスズランの花を贈るという素敵な習慣があるそうですね。

俳句はその習慣とは無関係ですが、母が今日退院しましたので。

I heard it was customary in France on May first to present lilies of the valley to those who were kind to them to show appreciation.　I find it such a nice thing to do in this season.

This haiku has no relation to this French custom.　I just chose it because my mother checked out of the hospital today.
