With chilly March winds and unpredictable April showers behind us, when May arrives, summer is fast approaching. It\u2019s a time of rebirth and renewal. In fact, May is named after Maia, the Greek goddess of growth. While there are many flowers that bloom this month, two of the most notable are the lily of the valley and hawthorn, <a aria-label=\"May\u2019s birth flowers (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/content\/may-birth-flowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">May\u2019s birth flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header0\">In This Healthy Insight:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#Header1\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Fun facts about lily of the valley<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Header2\" class=\"rank-math-link\">What does the lily of the valley symbolize?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Header3\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Fast facts about hawthorn<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Header4\" class=\"rank-math-link\">What does hawthorn symbolize<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Header5\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Famous May Birthdays<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Header6\" class=\"rank-math-link\">List of birth months and flowers<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/may1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"may birth flowers - lily of the valley\" class=\"wp-image-7814\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/may1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/may1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/may1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/may1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header1\">Fast facts about lily of the valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>Convallaria majalis<\/em> is the scientific name of this delicate bell-shaped white flower that droops along its stem <strong><\/strong><\/li><li>Since lily of the valley means romance, brides love to include it in their wedding bouquet<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>It\u2019s been part of royal wedding bouquets too with Kate Middleton in 2011 and Princess Grace in 1956<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>Many perfumes are created using the sweet fragrance of lily of the valley<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>The flower can also represent sadness and is commonly placed on top of the coffin<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>The flower itself resembles tears and is sometimes referred to as \u201cour lady\u2019s tears\u201d<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>In Christianity, it is said that Mary\u2019s tears at Jesus\u2019 crucifixion fell on the ground and became lily of the valley<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>In heaven it\u2019s said to measure the purity of souls<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>The flower is thought to be a charm against evil, even protecting gardens from evil spirits<strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header2\">What does the lily of the valley symbolize?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most birth flowers, lily of the valley carries different meanings and serves as a symbol for many things. In addition to romance, these flowers represent hope, sweetness, happiness and with its demure, drooping flowers, it also represents humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your friend that seems to be the luckiest person you know while still being down to earth and humble?

But since it also has prickly thorns, it also reflects protection. If you give someone a hawthorn plant, you\u2019re showing them that nothing can stop them from being supremely happy. You care about them greatly and wish them nothing but the best in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header5\">Famous April Birthdays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dwayne Johnson \u2013 May 2, 1972<\/li><li>James Brown \u2013 May 3, 1933<\/li><li>Audrey Hepburn \u2013 May 4, 1929<\/li><li>Adele \u2013 May 5, 1988<\/li><li>Sigmund Freud \u2013 May 6, 1856<\/li><li>Enrique Iglesias \u2013 May 8, 1975<\/li><li>Plato \u2013 May 21, 428 BC<\/li><li>Mr. T \u2013 May 21, 1952<\/li><li>Queen Victoria \u2013 May 24, 1819<\/li><li>Miles Davis \u2013 May 26, 1926<\/li><li>John F.
