I was in 3rd grade the first time I heard April showers bring May flowers. After that, I decided May was my favorite month because flowers are pretty and no other month had a fun rhyme. I liked it so much I would tell people I was born in May (my birthday is in September). I was weird kid.
Here are some of my favorite May flowers, blooming soon near you:
1. Peonies - These are gorgeous in bud or in full bloom. The pink ones are especially beautiful.
2. Lilacs - The smell of these reminds me of my home in Minnesota. There's a lilac tree right outside our house and the fragrance wakes you up in the morning and lulls you to sleep at night. I like to keep a small vase of these on my bedside table.
3. Hydrangeas - You get a lot of bang for with this flower. They're perfect for single-flower arrangements in tall vases.
4. Daffodils - This flower is the Miss Congeniality of May flowers. They're just so friendly. You can get them for about $2 a bunch.
Happy May!
