Hawthorn, according to folklore, is the most likely tree to be inhabited by fairies or the Wee Folk… It flowers in May, mainly in hedgerows and wild places. The scent of hawthorn is wild too, earthy and spicy, calling to mind rites of spring and naughty pixies. It feels like that to me anyway 🙂

Hawthorns are beautiful!
Agreed!
Not sure if we have hawthorn trees here – but the blossoms are beautiful. I’ll do a little research.
I don’t know either.
That’s a fantastic picture, Ailish. It definitely shows the beauty of hawthorn flowers. Dancing in the Castle is on my list.
It’s a bit of a wild one. Like the hawthorn 🙂
