I was wondering how many people have ever celebrated May 1st? Its the day my Mom and I would leave a potted plant on each others front step. One year I mentioned to my Mom I was looking for a new plant to welcome people to my home and a petunia was sitting there on May 1st. Another year it was a marigold. Any holidays you have celebrated with fond memories years later?

We don't recognise May Day but that's a lovely tradition you had with your mother.

I have learned so much over the years about holidays that are celebrated on Mylot. Some I hadn't heard of before I joined.

That is cool that it is a holiday for other countries. Its just a special day for me, as I look at my plants.

Yes I have learned a lot about plants that wouldn't have happened if we didn't celebrate May Day this way. The first time I was so surprised and thrilled to have a new plant and everyone that came over would learn what day I received it from my Mom.
