By Andrea Vanni. Fresco in church of S. Dominico, Siena. ca. 1400. Duchess Catherine, an art history major, is said to favor lilies.  Her bouquet consisted primarily of lilies of the valley (from the lily family) in addition to other accent flowers.  In “The Language of Flowers” lilies of the valley symbolize a return to happiness.
