The Hawthorns are starting to bud; unlike the Blackthorn which produces flowers before it produces leaves, the Hawthorn shows its leaves first. An easy way to distinguish the two similar, in form and habitat, thorny shrubs. With Beltain and May just around the corner, these buds are forming with perfect timing; well they would, wouldn't they, after all Hawthorn is the May blossom, flower of the May queen.
