Happy May Day! Though
not a holiday much celebrated in either England or America in the nineteenth
century, there were still those hardy souls who clung to the old ways and
picked flowers, danced around the May Pole, and handed bouquets to friends and
family on May 1. So, dear friends, here
are some flowers I “picked” just for you, courtesy of Hampton Court gardens in
England:
And I couldn't resist throwing in this fellow for good
measure.
May your May Day be merry!

Regina, May Day is a Big Deal at my college--we have an annual May Day celebration including 5 full-sized Maypoles for dancing around.
And that dude at the end is totally Spiny Norman.
How fun, Marissa! I spent part of the day pruning flowers--does that count as a celebration? :-)
