Today May 1, it's the last spring month. May Day is celebrated as Labor Day, also May Day marks the beginning of rural spring in the Northern hemisphere and was associated with pagan festivals, some people devote the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary that often is adorned with flowers.

Although today is Labor Day please, do not work much, I wish you to enjoy spring, flowers, birdsong, the sun, nature!

Nadezda, beautiful spring flowers in your garden! specially the Tulip, I'd give anything to have tulips in my garden! :( Here May is the last month of autumn, we are heading to winter but winter here is not crude or dangerous to plants. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteYou could have blooming tulip MDN if you would like forcing the bulb. The bulb has to be stored in fridge on 6-7 C for 8 weeks and then is to be planted in a cool place. It's easy to do, I often have blooming tulips to any day I want.
DeleteНадежда,какой прекрасный сад,очаровательные цветы!!!Фотографии яркие,насыщенные,красивые.

I didn't realize May Day was a celebration of spring, I always associated it with supporting workers, which of course is the other significance. Lovely spring flowers. Happy May Day for yesterday, Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteBefore, here we celebrated May day as a fest of workers, it's true. Now this day has wider signification. Why to not festive it as a flower day, catmint? :-)
DeleteHappy weekend!
Ciao, complimenti per le belle immagini! Qui il primo maggio me lo sono goduto in giardino anche se il tempo era instabile. Per fortuna ci sarà il sole nei prossimi giorni :)
ReplyDeleteUn saluto e una buona serata!
Que bueno pasar el primero de Mayo en el jardin, pontos.
DeleteBuen fin de semana!
You have some beautiful bulbs in flower, a fine celebration of May Day. The purpose of May Day is definitely to relax, as it is a day for those who have to toil almost every day.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Jason, May day is to sit back, we work in our gardens from spring to winter.
DeleteHello Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour spring flowers are very beautiful.
I love spring, and May is the most beautiful month.
