There was an article in the newspapers today about May blossom coming out early this year; is this due to glabal warming etc. What a load of cods wallop. May is called 'May' because it blossoms about the end of April and the beginning of May; hence using it on May Day celebrations.

Hawthorn

May blossom symbolises female fertility, with its creamy/ white, fragrant flowers. Hawthorn blossom was worn during Beltane celebrations, especially by the May Queen. It is believed to be a potent magical plant and it is considered unlucky to bring the blossom inside the house, apart from on May eve.

Last year it was late, this year it's a few days early. So what's new?
