If April is the month of bluebells, then May is the month of apple blossom. The pink buds, opening to reveal pink-blushed petals that fade to white; the scent – I only realised that apple blossom smelled so wonderful after reading about it on another blog a few weeks ago!; the way the blossom clothes the trees. It’s so pretty. And May is when the countryside fills out – the verges and hedgerows are suddenly frothy with wildflowers and the fields are full of lush growth. It’s so green. The landscape is softened.

May is the most beautiful month of all. The apple blossom does have a delicate perfume if you take the time to sniff it.

Lovely photos as always. May has a split personality I think. Green and lush but often biting winds to spoil the enjoyment. I love the still days best when you can smell the blossom. B x

Oh its gorgeous isn’t it. You are totally on the same page as me. I’ve been ooh-ing and aah-ing over the apple blossom and the hedgerows as well. At this time of year it all just explodes doesn’t it. Glorious. CJ xx

It’s happened here almost overnight after a deluge of rain a couple of days ago. I woke up this morning and the trees are now fully clothed.

I love trees covered with blossom – apple, cherry, plum, hawthorn, serviceberry. If they are fragrant so much the better! In our garden we have two crabapples.
