Thread Name: Origins: White Coral Bells/White Choral Bells
Subject: RE: Origins: White Coral Bells
I'm going to suggest an heretical thought. Is it possible that the original theme was 'choral' bells?
As in
White choral bells upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the Valley deck the garden walk
etc, etc
I say that because, as noted above, coral bells and lily of the valley bear only a superficial similarity. But lily of the valley does have the bells.
White Choral Bells?
