It was used to get rid of the smell of dead bodies years ago so it has always said to be unlucky if bought in the house if you are well

Superstition only works if you believe in it. law of attraction says dont attract negativity. Attract positivity and enjoy the beautiful flowers.

Me neither. May blossom is supposed to be unlucky. but there again if you look in the book of superstitions you would be afraid to breathe.

I've walked under numerous ladders, broken mirrors over the years, had lilac in my home. I've never had much bad luck! Old wives tales from many many years ago - utter rubbish. Enjoy, they're beautiful x
