Best of Mayfly is usually in June

BECAUSE OF the wintry weather during the month of May the May blossom really only came into full flower at the beginning of June.

But then, as if in compensation, there was an unusually fine show, particularly in areas of the country with lime rich soils.

May blossom, like the Mayfly, was named before Pope Gregory revised the calendar. In the Middle Ages the month of May occurred about two weeks later in the year than it does nowadays so best of the blossom and the best of the Mayfly is usually in June.
