When I was a kid, we looked forward to May Day, when we could make a small bouquet and put it into a basket (usually woven of paper or gathered from doilies) to hang on a neighbor’s front door knob. The idea was to give an anonymous gift of flowers and love, but do it without getting caught.
The best part, of course, was running away before anyone would answer the door, and watching the reaction from somewhere close by.
I didn’t have anything blooming this morning, but my BFF Vickie shared a beautiful bouquet on Facebook explaining that I had taught her long ago about giving flowers to those you love on May Day. So even though the calendar on my computer says it is already May 2, I’m still going to share flowers with all of you.
This “Luxury Lace” iris used to grow in Mom’s garden, but Daddy asked me to bring it to Visalia. Happy May Day!

You know, Fawn, I just read about the flower tradition yesterday on someone’s blog — I’d never heard of it! Where in the heck have I been all this time I wonder? 🙂 Well, I do love that iris, so gorgeous, and thank you mightily for sharing it with us today! Have a wonderful, and fun, weekend, 🙂

I think it is a very old-fashioned tradition, Deb. I must admit I have not continued it very well with my girls. Next year, for sure. I’m glad you liked the iris. Happy weekend! – Fawn

I don’t know why I’d never heard of the tradition, Fawn, but I’m glad I did! Hope you had an enjoyable weekend — with some rain, perhaps!
