Midland Hawthorn

 
The arrival of May sees the Hawthorn (Crataegus) flowers beginning to burst forth; the first you'll see will probably be Midland Hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata) which usually flowers a couple of weeks before Common Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna); our Common Hawthorn's buds are still tightly rolled balls, it looking like they're going to put on quite a show though.
