May Flower of the Month: Lily of the Valley & Hawthorne Plant

April showers bring May flowers!

The Lily of the Valley, one of the flowers for the month of May, emits a sweet fragrance, symbolizing humility and a return to happiness after the cold and rainy season.

The Hawthorne Plant flower (shown below) is also associated with the month of May. It’s broad green leaves appear first and are soon adorned with bouquets of delicate white flowers donning prominently contrasting stamens, which appear to reach out toward you, drawing you in. This flower represents hope and supreme happiness—the elation of long sunny summer days.

Happy Birthday to all our friends celebrating another year of life this month!
