What's in bloom in May?

[Maxsmom]

Hello fellow pilgrims, I'm working to book my first Camino in May 2025. One of the things I love about walking is seeing all of the flora and fauna along the way. I'll be starting SJPP in early May and walking for 2 weeks. I'm wondering what might be in bloom at that time?

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!

Poppies are in abundance as well as fields of Rapeseed

I have walked several Caminos in April and May. Here is just a sampling of what you can expect to see in bloom ...

A plethora of poppies


A bounty of buttercups


Billions of bluets


Dozens of daisies


Heavenly hibiscus


Glorious glads


An orchestration of orchid


Magnificent morning glories


Mounds of mint


Wonderful wisteria


Take your time ... stop and smell the flowers ... and maybe snap a photo or two ...

This was in Logroño, 1 May 2019. My favorites - glorious chestnut candles!

gorgeous gallery, and do stop and admire, but most of these flowers are unscented

This tree I think is a horse chestnut ( castaño de Indias in Spanish). There are no chestnuts in Logroño.

Yes, sorry I meant horse chestnut. Typing too quickly! The horse chestnut blossoms are so spectacular, and I love them because they remind me of where I grew up in England. There were some gorgeous ones in Burgos too, as I recall.

Even in a cool Mid-May in the Galician mountains there were lots of flowers and colours. Here a few impressions from the Invierno:



Cistus
some gardens

Poppies


Broom-shrubs everywhere in white and yellow

Lavender

Calla flowers in a road-ditch

and my favourite:


Have fun!
