May brings brightness, colors, and the life that flowers showcase, helping to show the start of Spring. During May 1, some individuals get the lovely surprise of flowers on their doorstep to celebrate this day. While it began as a British tradition, some Americans also participate to welcome in summer.
May 1 is the halfway point between the Spring and Summer equinoxes; therefore it is celebrated as the beginning of summer and warmer days in England. People tend to trade flowers with loved ones back and forth. From sunflowers to dahlias, getting a bouquet of flowers remains a great way to celebrate the beginning of this sunny season!
