Flores de Mayo
The summer month of May is when flowers are in full bloom. The fragrance of many flowers float in the air: kalachuchi, rose, and the sampaguita—the Philippines' National Flower. It is also a month of many festivities in the country, chief of which is Flores de Mayo (Flowers of May). It is mostly dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary; each of the 31 days of the month is a floral tribute to the virtues of the Virgin. |
