At this moment there is an explosion of flowering in white. The main responsability for this conflagration is shared by several plants, of which the most important is doubtless Oneseed Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna).
Here you see it, a small tree, behind a cloud of Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris).
How beautiful it is, this Hawthorn! And then, it has a sweet scent!
If you look at a flower in detail you see it has only one style (and one ovary also, but that is invisibly hidden at the bottom of the flower where the fruit will develop). That's why there is 'monogyna' in its name. Stamina with pink pollen surround it.
Oneseed Hawthorn grows in hedgerows, woodland edges and even in the shade in the midst of a forest. Often its branches entwine with those of other trees and bushes.
In autumn its leaves in the shape of little hands turn yellow. Some dark red fruits are still there, waiting for birds to come and eat them.
