Friday's Fascinating Flower Facts
The month of May brings out the best in the common hawthorn, known scientifically as Crataegus monogyna. Sometimes referred to as the May tree, this hawthorn species boasts abundant pink and white blooms, which you can't help but notice right now. For that reason, gardeners use this plant as an ornamental hedge. The genus name Crataegus originates from the Greek words kratos and akis. Kratos means strength, while akis means sharp, referring to the thorns of some hawthorn species.Today's Felixstowe sunrise: 05:51
