mayflowers
Trailing pink wildflowers
Mayflowers are wildflowers that bloom in spring, particularly in May.
In North America, the term most often refers to the trailing arbutus, a low-growing plant with fragrant pink or white blossoms.
In England, mayflower typically means hawthorn.
The mayflowers are finally blooming along the trail. (Capitalized Mayflower is the ship that brought Pilgrims to America in 1620.)
